• Interview with Paul Goodyear, a Pearl Harbor survivor.

• Education on the Road - Antarctica (#1)

A webcast is a live, interactive, audio conversation on the internet. Many of these webcasts are archived after the live stream. This is a new venture for our school. Ms. Adams will soon be certified to host our own webcasts.

Our first experience was on February 8, 2008. We were able to talk with a Pearl Harbor survivor, Paul Goodyear. He was stationed on the USS Oklahoma during the attack. Several schools across three time zones were involved in the conversation while Paul was at home in Arizona. Our students were able to ask questions directly and/or use a chat room set aside for this conversation. This webcast was also streamed for others to listen in.

Education on the Road - Antarctica #1

Interviewed Robin Ellwood, a teacher who will be traveling with a research team to Antarctica again in Nov. 2008. This will be the first in several opportunities to talk with Ms. Ellwood before her trip. We hope we will be able to broadcast from Antarctica too! Stay tuned! Robin's journal is located at www.ryejrhigh.org/ellwood. There will be a link to her official PolarTREC website too. In this episode, Ms. Ellwood described how she got connected with the research team, her duties, her SCUBA diving under the lake ice, and answered questions from a 1st grade class in NH.
