Program Description
There is no doubt we now live in an “Internet Age.” At the click of a mouse, you can e-mail hundreds of people simultaneously, buy that long-desired vintage automobile, or create a personal profile to share with the world. With unlimited opportunities, cyberspace may well have become the new “final frontier.” How best can we explore this frontier? How can we minimize risk and maximize safety? How can we help students be secure in their Internet activities? These are important questions, and we invite you and your students to participate in this important discussion. Students will interact with representatives from the Missouri Attorney General’s office, security experts from Missouri Research and Education Network (MOREnet), and current Miss Missouri Lindsay Casmaer, a victim of cyber-bullying and cyber-stalking herself. Students will also have the chance to share with each other as well.Topics will include online predators, cyber-bullying, identity theft and other Internet-related issues. “This is such an important issue – it is absolutely critical for kids, parents and community members to be on the same page with regard to online safety,” said Randy Raw, Manager of Network Security at MOREnet. “The Internet is a fantastic learning tool, but like any tool, people need to understand what the risks are and how to use it safely.” Interactive videoconference space is limited so contact us early to enroll your students.Related Information:The Missouri Research Education Network (MOREnet) is presenting these student-focused programs as part of a larger menu of opportunities known as Internet Safety Night occurring on the evening of April 23, 2008. Internet Safety Night is a nationwide event that brings information and resources to students, parents and members of the community to help us all stay safer online. The goal is for communities to pull together local experts and resources — students, parents, teachers, law enforcement and community members — to begin a discussion about the importance of Internet safety. These local discussions, occurring simultaneously all around the country, then connect to the national host site in Columbia, Mo. for the featured speakers and other resources and tools that families can use to stay safe. Participants at any of the local events can see, hear, ask and answer questions in real time with participants at any of the other sites! If you’d like to learn more about this evening event occurring the same day as the above student events (April 23, 2008) and get parents, students, teachers and community members in your area involved, please surf the web to http://besafe.more.net/isn/ for more details and enrollment information.Other Viewing Options:Both the student daytime and evening community programs will also be available as view only videoconferences and will also be viewable over live video stream at http://besafe.more.net/isn/. Groups connecting in these ways are welcome to e-mail questions during the programs.

Program Format
The program will focus on the importance of Internet Safety.

Grade 8-12:The Spin Zone: The Role of Media in Elections"

Vanderbilt Virtual School
Wednesday, April 30, 2008 ~ 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM Central Time Zone ~
$75.00

There is no democracy without elections. And there can be no free elections without the media. Together, the candidates and those who report their actions and words make possible the citizen choice that is the heartbeat of America's freedom. Again this year, candidates and press are joined, sometimes suspiciously, sometimes in hostility, but always from necessity as essential partners in this "dance of democracy" every four years.

In this videoconference, students will explore the complexity of the media’s role in campaigning for the office of President of the United States. For too many citizens, politics has become a spectator sport rather than a participant game. The challenge for both the candidates and the news media is to find ways to stimulate more interest and deeper involvement in more voters. This videoconference will explore the front lines of the ongoing saga of the candidates who would be president and the journalists who cover their campaigns.

Winning the office of President is a two-stage process. The first stage is to win the nomination of one of the two major American political parties. Once nominated, the candidate moves to the second step: winning the election to the office of President. The election must be won through an organized effort to persuade voters to choose one candidate over others competing for the same office.
A Presidential campaign proceeds through three stages: building a base, planning a strategy, and clinching the vote. In building a base, campaign workers must be recruited and sources of funds must be identified. In planning a strategy, a campaign theme must be adopted and can be party-centered, issue-centered, or personality- oriented. In clinching the vote, the candidate must meet the voting groups and counter the opponents’ arguments.

The media helps to shape decisions at EACH of these three stages of the campaign, whether the candidate is campaigning to win the nomination or to win the office itself. The purpose of this videoconference is to give students an experience in exploring the “spin zone” found in media.
Media sources include Internet, newspapers, TV, radio, magazines, billboards, yard signs, buttons, bumper stickers, speeches, public appearances, and campaign literature.
We will discuss the differences and similarities between these sources. Which ones are most likely to have bias?

FREE:Grade 5-12: Spaceflight 101

You're lying on your back in your chair and there's a whole lot of shake, rattle and roll. At some point there are at least 3 G's pulling down on you. Bam! The Solid Rocket Boosters are jettisoned in the Atlantic Ocean. Then it gets real smooth; just the main engines are running now. From then on, for about another six to eight and a half minutes those engines will run. And then, just like magic, boom. The main engines cut off, and then immediately we're in freefall experiencing microgravity. It's not violent. It's very, very calm. As you could probably guess, this is a basic description of what it's like on the Space Shuttle. Whether we realize it or not, space exploration has given us communications and weather satellites, miniaturized electronics, smart robots, practical photovoltaic power, technology to monitor and manage pollution on Earth, and much much more. Now, that we realize the importance spaceflight, let's look at our past, what we are doing now, and how we will transition into the future.

During the videoconference, students will interact with a NASA Education Specialist as they explore spaceflight and recall facts from the pre-conference activities. Students will learn about the facets of spaceflight that NASA utilizes to explore the solar system.
Objectives

Upon completion of this module, students will:-Be able to investigate Newton's and Kepler's Laws to determine the ideal launching site, direction, and conditions-Compare and contrast the history of the space program to the future of spaceflight-Be involved in the teambuilding process.

REQUESTS MUST BE RECEIVED WITH NO LESS THAN A MINIMUM 30-DAY ADVANCE LEAD TIME.PLEASE REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT
