Your district must be a member of your regional education service center's distance learning service. To learn more, 
Join us for a chance to talk to scientists and other crew members via interactive videoconferencing on the amazing 470 foot long ocean drilling research vessel JOIDES Resolution (JR). You will be able to see and talk to an international group of marine geologists and technicians LIVE while they are out at sea, learn what they are researching, and get a peek at the research vessel that has been so important to increasing our understanding of the seafloor, plate tectonics, and past climate change. This exciting event will take place on February 24th for 3rd - 6th grade students. 
On February 26th, we invite you to join Kim Benefield from the Alliance for Children and Alex Lewis, Assistant U.S. Attorney of the Northern District of Texas, as they discuss NetSmartz and answer students questionss.

NetSmartz combines the newest technologies available and the most current information to create high-impact educational activities that are well received by even the most tech-savvy kids. Two of the pieces, "Amy's Choice" and "Julie's Journey," are actual recordings of victims recounting the consequences of their online choices. The NetSmartz program includes group discussions to reinforce the concepts.
