Teacher Training Student Learning Family Involvement

Are you ready to discover a new way to Turn Technology into Learning and Information into Knowledge? Join the Camp Internet distance learning community to explore the wonders of the world and discover innovative techniques for leveraging technology to help us learn in new and more meaningful ways.

What Shape will the Future Take ?

Amazing scientific discoveries, historic events that shaped the world, art, music and storytelling, environmental policies – this is the wealth of human knowledge that will shape the future of life on our planet. What shape will that future take? Camp Internet is addressing this question by hosting year round programs that explore the past, examine the world around us today, and encourage our learners to employ advanced technology tools to envision and build a positive future.

We live in an exciting time. Education now takes place across continents via distributed online learning linking learners with common interests across vast geographic distances. But the Internet can offer us even more powerful tools than email and web pages. Camp Internet is exploring new second-level Internet tools: GIS mapping, video broadcasting, interactive Internet web resources, teleconferencing, and remote robotics.

The Internet global communications network can offer us a

unique chance to better understand the past and well-equip us

to create a better future. Will you accept this exciting

technology and learning challenge ?

Our Campers are learning about ancient life, dinosaurs, the first plants, the forces that have shaped our continents, and the people who first walked the lands. They study the historic events, industrial developments, and environmental battles that have formed the society we know today. Our explorers of all ages read the stories of famous writers and enjoy paintings and sculptures by famous artists that capture the mysterious beauties of living on this remarkable blue planet. They may look overhead and marvel at the heavens – learning how the ancient ones studied the

Each Camp Internet Classroom or Family can order their own GPS unit s part of their Supply Kit that also includes the backpack portfolio shown above for each subscriber, hands-on science and art projects, great books, posters and even an Expedition mascot.

Campers and their Families enjoy taking year end field trips to the places they have been discovering online - Yosemite, Catalina Island, Joshua Tress, Anacapa Island, Indian Canyons, a Dinosaur Dig in Colorado, a Hawaiian Volcano …

Campers can grab a GPS unit from their Camp Internet supply kit and start plotting GIS maps of their own neighborhood and plug their data into maps that link to resources from classrooms and families all over the United States and beyond. Live video streaming links Camp Internet’s guest scientists and historians from universities and science or history centers right into classrooms and homes via the Internet with out the requirement of expensive satellite downlinks. Campers learn directly from experts, and we encourage every Camper to also share the knowledge they gain through innovative online publishing tools for GIS, web and video projects.

Camp Internet is putting the Internet to work as a vehicle to carry our learners all over the world - and into their own backyard - from the comfort of a desktop computer. They may begin their Camp Expedition by listening to the ancient tribal stories carried on from First People, move on to considering the possibility of colonizing other planets, and meanwhile be testing the soil or water in their own backyard. Camp Internet is leveraging the power of second-level Internet to give students and families a chance to gain new understanding of the past and to master the tools to build a better future.

We invite you to take the Camp Internet challenge to leverage the Internet to help us all learn to build a better future. If we demand that the technology serve the common good – it will. But we have to have that intention. Camp Internet’s intention to is leverage the technology to build fun, enjoyable, and knowledge-building distance learning communities.
