K12 Events
Lessons from Greensburg, Kansas
During Emergency Preparedness Week in March, the GPN SEGP committee will be facilitating interactive video between classrooms in Greensburg, Kan., site of a recent tornado disaster, and K12 schools in the GPN region. Greensburg has received a great deal of regional and national attention because of the devastation of that city, including attention at this year’s State of the Union address. Read more about it here.
One-hour programs, titled “Lessons from Greensburg, Kansas” are tentatively scheduled for March 11 at 8:45 a.m. (elementary school focus), 10 a.m. (middle & high school focus), and 1 p.m. (second program for middle & high school). In the evening, a program for community members is tentatively planned for 7 p.m. If you know of a school that would like to be video-conferenced in to one of these sessions, or if you would like to add a program (e.g., disaster preparedness) to this ensemble of programs, please contact your GPN representative or Greg Monaco, GPN Executive Director.
Visit to an Ice-Age Cave on November 7, 2007
A virtual tour of Riverbluff Cave – at nearly 1 million years old, it is one of the oldest caves in North America. This preserved ice-age environment is so fragile that only a few highly trained scientists are allowed to enter. One of these scientists, Matt Forir, the cave’s lead paleontologist, will host this virtual tour to allow students a unique glimpse into prehistoric life. Students will observe stunning cave formations and artifacts such as a bear bed, animal tracks and fossils, plus they’ll be able to interact with Matt, learning real-world applications for the research and discoveries in the cave.
