The Camp Internet GATE class is one of the best ways to explore nearly all of Camp's different units. Woven into the GATE curriculum is an online exploration through the rich and diverse materials within Camp Internet. Goto: http://www.rain.org/GATE-web-2004 to check out the GATE class web. Have your students goto the GATE class web when they are working on Science Fair projects or other research.

Field Reports and GIS reports are beginning to come in from classes around the world. If you are working on the Global Garden curriculum and want to send in a Garden Field Report go to: http://www.rain.org/global-garden/garden-field-report-form.html

An Introduction to the History of Surfing is online now in the Channel Islands class. Go to: http://www.rain.org/campinternet/channelhistory/surfing/ to begin that study unit.

I recommend checking out the "web quest" area this week. It is an archive from last year and we will see new "web quests" added throughout this year.

For Literature studies this week we are looking at Transcendentalism and American History.

A new part of our Camp Internet course options this year is the Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution program.
