| Description: | Several schools in Region 14 Education Service Center in Abilene, Texas have entered the Kids Creating Community Content (KC3) virtual field trip contest. http://kc3.cilc.org/ In preparation for the contest, the schools are seeking sites that might want to receive a program. All the programs are ‘FREE’. We are just looking for sites to practice our programs with. We have all kinds of topics including but not limited to: Native American Indians, Buffalo Hunting, Horse Back Riding, Wind Energy, Spider Rock Treasure, Wild Hogs, Cotton, Wheat, Stagecoaches, Ghost Towns, Mammoths, Peanuts, B1 Bombers, 6 man football, Blood Typing, etc. Most are geared for elementary audiences but a couple are for MS/HS students. Some of the programs will have websites where the requesting teacher can access ‘pre-conference’ activities for their students but at this stage, not all of the schools have built their websites yet. To see a list of available programs, please go to: http://www.esc14.net/default.aspx?name=KC3Practice My schools can dial direct to you or you can dial into to them. Dialing in instructions are also posted on the website. To request a program, simply email the teacher from the originating school and set up a date and time. We are in Central Standard Time so when confirming a time for the program – be sure to consider any differences in time zones. Depending upon the number of questions asked, the programs will run 30 to 45 minutes. If you have any questions – please do not hesitate to contact Tommy Bearden at bearden@esc14.net better yet – ring me on video at 12.68.216.113 Note: These programs are not really collaborative projects - we are not expecting a program in return. We are just seeking receiving audiences to practice our programs before the contest. Preferred connections will be to sites outside of Texas. |
