STUDENT TECHNOLOGY LEADERS COMPETITION
Yearly. 1997 Deadline: March 15
Prizes to innovative students who are learning and working with information technology. Advertising and rewarding student success is important.

Earth Day is April 22nd. Here's a simple, collaborative activity that involves students in their community, and it's not language-dependent.

LIVE FROM MARS Beckons YOU and Your Students! (NEXT LIVE BROADCAST... APRIL 24th, 1997)

Diversity of Life project: ROCKY LITTORAL MARITIME AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM

A well constructed collaborative project, originating in Portugal - multidisciplinary. However! The originating website -- not this invitation -- is in Portuguese. So apparently communication in other languages takes place directly, through email. LEVEL OF TEACHING: Students involved in the project are in the 12th form of Natural-Scientific Area. Age: 17 The project can be of interest and be integrated in other levels of teaching, from the 7th to 12th forms. Ages: From 13 to 18. Registration of the participant schools until 31.March.97. A report will be issued at completion of the project.

Beginning April 15th, log on to NOVA/PBS ONLINE for its latest real time adventure, Alive on Everest: The Story of Humans at Altitude.
