Academic year 2010-2011 is well underway and we would like
you to consider how e-Missions™ can help you make this year the best yet for
your students. Please check out our growing list of e-Missions that we
offer at
www.e-missions.net.
Each mission scenario has its own website; complete with lesson plans,
materials, and information for you.

At the Challenger Learning Center, one of our goals is to
help teachers provide positive, productive, and engaging learning experiences
for students. Our e-Mission programs offer a wide range of options for
teachers to help them meet learning objectives for the year. Each
e-Mission includes a wide range of prepared lesson plans aligned with state and
national standards ready for you to deliver in your classroom.
After completing a minimum number of lesson plans, your
class ‘connects live’ with Mission Control at the Challenger Learning Center to
help solve problems. Your class will assemble into an Emergency Response
Team made up of specialist groups to use their math, science and reading skills
to help NASA solve problems.
In essence, this program equals the thrill of a field trip
for your students without leaving the classroom. We can connect with any
classroom, anywhere with the use of a few computers, video conferencing
equipment and internet access. E-missions are ‘no bus, no fuss’ virtual
field trips and they are great tools to expose your students to technology at
the same time that you cover core math and science topics.
If you have not yet scheduled your e-Mission(s) for this
year, now is the time! Please complete and return the attached
reservation form or register on-line at
www.e-missions.net.
I look forward to flying with you and your students this year! Kathleen
