Are You Ready to DIG the Internet ?
Teachers - we are coming up on the weeks we feature YOUR Internet
Digs. There is no other program on the Internet that lets teachers create
these easy, non-HTML, learning quests so please join in and take pride in
presenting your OWN Dig to your class and community. Six - twelve research
questions are really all it takes to build a DIG !
Please prepare your custom Internet Dig, on a topic of your choice, by
following the easy steps in the online training workshops located at
http://chat.rain.org/cgi-bin/nph-teacherworkshop and when you have a Dig
ready, let us know the week in March or April you would like to have it
featured. The rooms we will set aside will be in the Field Reports area as
we will still have the current Digs running in the Dig Section. Send
reservation requests to camp@campinternet.net.
