An exciting NASA Learning Technologies project called "Space Team Online" was recently launched. The project is designed principally for pre-college classrooms, but everybody is welcome and many adults should find the unique perspective interesting.
This project will provide lots of opportunities to interact with enthusiastic people. We'll encourage e-mail exchange and host frequent live network events, including WebChats and CU-SeeMe sessions.
Curriculum supplements about flying rockets and microgravity experiments will be available to help teachers incorporate the lessons of the shuttle discussion areas to encourage like-minded educators to share good ideas and support one another.
As well, student-to-student interactions will be facilitated through space shuttle simulations. Finally, an area on the Web will be reserved to display student work relating to the shuttle.
