		<description>Dear Pat,

Wow ... thanks for so quickly sharing these resources with others.

Just wanted to clarify a few points ...

The NASA eClips resources (Our World, Real Word, Launchpad, and NASA 360) are produced by the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA), http://www.nianet.org/.  

If you go to our Home page, you'll also see Discovery Now, 90-second radio spots that can be downloaded and used by anyone, too.

The dedicated YouTube channel for NASA eClips can be found here ... http://www.youtube.com/nasaeclips
And these same video segments can be found at the NASA portal, http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/nasaeclips/index.html

You can also find some educator resources for some of the NASA eClips segments at the NASA portal url.

As you discovered last night in TappedIn ... there are LOTS of great NASA and NIA resources developed for teachers of all grades.

And ... we're always happy to help teachers find these resources or know how best to use these resources.  If you need/want help, please email me at sharon.bowers@nianet.org.

We need to inspire our students to see themselves as 21st Century Explorers.</description>
