| Challenger Learning Center (WJU) |
Visit Website |
| Operation Montserrat Island, a new electronic mission, connects a flight director at the Challenger Learning Center (CLC) in Wheeling, West Virginia with a classroom anywhere in the world for a unique learning adventure. With the help of computers, the Internet and a small video camera, students interact with the flight director in Wheeling to track the hurricane, predict volcanic rock fall and determine how these conditions will impact the island?s air, land, water and vegetation. Operation Montserrat Island allows students to participate as Earth systems science experts. Student specialists will be members on the volcano, hurricane or communication teams during the two-hour electronic mission. Operation Montserrat Island engages students to work as scientists in order to solve problems in real-life situations. Students will be called up to determine: -What impact will wind and falling ash from the volcano have on plant life? -How far is the hurricane from the island? -Should residents be evacuated and, if so, what are the possible routes?The mission challenges students to apply their mathematics and science knowledge to a real-life event. Prior to the mission, teachers participate in two days of training to acquaint them with the mission. They leave the training with a pre-flight curriculum for the students designed for incorporation into daily lesson plans three weeks prior to the mission. |

Whether engaging elementary, middle school, high school, college or life-long learners, from a distance or on this almost 10,000 acres, the Wilds weaves these ideas into the creation of conservation education experiences.
-The biological impact of human activity can be reasonably predicted based on what science knows about a natural system at any given point in time.
-People compete for the same fundamental resources as other forms of life; human population growth and patterns of consumption determine the amount of resources remaining for other life forms.
-The impact of diverse cultures upon biological diversity varies.
-Social and economic factors influence decisions about land and wildlife use.
-Attitudes, knowledge, and skills can guide decisions concerning actions with environmental consequences.

| In October 2000, Virent Broadcasting Company was founded for the purpose of providing Real Time, Interactive ? Videoconferencing presentations to school children throughout Ohio, and eventually the world, by ?Living Historians? and real life professionals. Virent?s goal is to help the education community make effective use of Fiber Optic, digital, ATM and IVDL technology by providing student, and teacher education online. This benefits not only the students, but teachers, administrators and parents. We will cover your states curriculum requirements in the areas of mathematics, science, language arts, social studies, and history by such notable people as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Orville Wright, Ben Franklin, Theodore Roosevelt, and over 20 others. The virtual reality presentations we do are appropriate for elementary, middle, junior high, and senior high school students, educators and parents. What if: Your Science class could talk with ?Orville Wright? about how ?lift? is achieved? Or, talk with ?Thomas Edison? about how he developed the electric light bulb, his recording device or some of his other 1093 patented inventions?What if: Your Math class could talk with ?Galileo? about his ideas on math and how it is used in Astronomy?What if: Your Language Arts class could talk with ?Samuel Clemens? or ?Charles Dickens? about their writing techniques? How they came up with the stories that they wrote?What if: Your American History class could talk with ?General George Washington?, or have a debate with ?Abraham Lincoln?, i.e. ?The Lincoln ? Douglas Debates?, or to a ?Civil War Soldier?, or a ?Revolutionary War Militiaman?, or to an ?American Frontier couple? about what life was like in the 1700?s? |
