Online Educational Programs Available To Students Of All
Ages
NASA is making available a free Web-based educational product
to learners of all ages across the country. NASA eClips consists of
more than 55 short, 5-10 minute video segments, which are available
on-demand via the Internet for the 2008-2009 school year.
NASA eClips features many of the agency's missions and engages
students in the excitement of science and engineering. From the
deepest regions of space to hurricanes here on Earth, the goal of
NASA eClips is to inspire students to learn more about science and
math concepts.
"This new product was designed to respond to the needs of
today's educators, and highlights NASA's commitment to providing
science, math, technology and engineering resources in a way that
is relevant to tomorrow's explorers," said Joyce Winterton, NASA's
assistant administrator for education.
Additionally, the NASA eClips program is separated into
grade-appropriate topics and designed as a resource for classroom
teachers. Accompanying the collection of NASA eClips will be
educator guides to provide teachers with examples of how to
effectively use the products as instructional tools. "NASA 360"
segments are available to the general public.
Students, teachers and the general public can look forward to
new video and educational content highlighting current research and
innovations each week throughout the school year. The number of
video clips is expected to grow to more than 220 by next year.
The clips are available at the first FMI link below. ANN
encourages our readers to check them out -- we could all learn
something!
