Technology Links Students to Fieldwork
Every school year, teachers across the country set out to make the work of scientists understandable and appealing to students, who might otherwise find it indecipherable and dull. This fall, a New Hampshire educator was helped in that mission by a group of scientists—working from a boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Her students e-mailed questions to the marine scientists, who responded when they had time and a working satellite link. That arrangement is just one of many aimed at connecting students through technology with scientists doing research in the field, an increasingly common practice in schools.
