From mpratt at ihmc.us Fri Aug 28 12:09:32 2009 From: mpratt at ihmc.us (Megan Pratt) Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 12:09:32 -0500 Subject: [ILoveScience-escambia] Additional resources Message-ID: Throughout the I LOVE Science program, I have had various volunteers or potential volunteers who have shared an interest in leading an activity along their area of interest. I believe that the program could be enhanced if we create a site with a listing of additional science presentations that community volunteers are willing to lead. It could be a presentation on your work, an activity created by your professional organization that you would be interested in leading, or a hobby you wish to share. I believe that it could be used by teachers as a way to tap community resources to enhance their curriculum. Additionally, it would open up these resources to schools where the teachers may not have the easy connections with professionals. I envision a site which, at the beginning, would list simply an activity description, including activity duration and other pertinent information and the appropriate grade level. Then there would be a means of contacting you. To limit the overwhelming nature, there could be a way to turn off the contact function once you have satisfied your willingness to lead the activity, whether it is once per 6-week period, 4 times a year, or your preference. If you have such a resource or would be willing to lead such an activity, would you contact me? The first step is for me to determine how many resources would be available. I'd appreciate your help on this. Let me know if you have any questions. Megan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
