Weekly News from the Director of Camp Internet.
Camp Internet is an online learning Campus, and like any campus, has many departments, programs and resources. Each area provides curriculum enhancement tools and valuable quiz, essay and research projects which I will review.
Live Chat Session with Camp Internet's Director, Friday, from 6 to 8 pm. to answer questions, discuss ideas and work through any issues or problems you may be having as you bring Camp Internet to your students. The link to join in the chat session will always be on the Camp Internet home page, http://www.campinternet.net. If you can not attend this weeks chat session but have questions send them to me at rain@rain.org and I'll post the question and answer for you to review latter. The Chat sessions become part of our permanent library so they are always available.
