This is a single shot of a joint flyover at Wednesday’s EAA airshow in OshKosh Wisconsin.
This morning was my first EAA experience. On behalf of WiscNet’s Internet2 K20 Working Group I co-presented at EAA’s Teacher Day. Our session “Internet2: connecting classrooms” focused on the how new internet2 applications are moving out of the research phase. The new internet2 solutions are in the following content themes:
Multimedia libraries
Remote scientific instruments
Experiences and Expertise
Creating New Knowledge & Opportunities
International Learning Communities
Examples of the new multimedia libraries include the National Science Digital Library, the eSkeletons Project, The WGBH Teacher’s Domain and the Research Channel.
Remote instrumentation permits K12 educators to actually control the Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii. Experiences and Expertise have been hilighted by Project Jason the Manhattan School of Music and the Lewis and Clark Project. Part of Creating new Knowledge & Opportunities is the excellent Neptune program in Washington. The International Learning Communities has been hilighted by the MegaConference Jr. with began in 2004 for students in elementary and secondary schools the ability to communicate with schools around the globe.
