The Education NW Resources Learning Center in Spokane, Washington, would like to offer a correspondence/Internet German I course starting this fall. This class would be open to grades 8-12. Higher level 7th graders would also be included. German II and III courses would be offered in the future, depending on interest. Also, if we have enough students, I would like to plan an Outdoor School experience in Germany and Austria in about 3 years.

Another student, Rachel Culver took 1st in senior individual documentary, and Anna Dubnow took 1st in senior individual performance, and a team of 4 students (Sam Smith, Becca Krebs, Alan Brannan, and Alison Brannan) took 1st in senior group performance. Although we did not win in the senior group documentary, we did have a team place 4th.

Tony Deal was one of 10 students to be asked to present at this reception.

Posted by: barbaral on Wednesday, March 08, 2006 - 02:28 PM

The Electronic Field Trip Web site is a key part of the program and has been honored by the Center for Digital Education with a Best of the Web award and gold and silver awards at the 2005 World Media Festival. The site provides standards-based curriculum developed by teachers participating in the broadcast. The lesson plans cover geography, math, writing, art and more.
There is one broadcast remaining in the 2005-06 Electronic Field Trip lineup:
* "Exploring Nature's Plumbing System: Caves of the National Park System" - Caves are much more than nature's plumbing system. They are sites of exploration, adventure, shelter and cutting-edge research. The National Park Service will show off a handful of caves, including Carlsbad Caverns - the deepest limestone cave in the United States - and answer questions about stalactites, stalagmites and even cave bacon.
Carlsbad, N.M., April 25 Electronic Field Trip partners include the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum; Space Center Houston/NASA; the National Park Foundation; Garfield and PAWS, Inc.; the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum; and five Smithsonian entities - The Environmental Research Center, National Museum of the American Indian, National Museum of American History, National Air and Space Museum and National Museum of Natural History.
