A team of NSDL Community members has begun an ambitious effort to help elementary teachers become more knowledgeable about the polar regions. The project “Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears,” part of the International Polar Year program, aims to provide best practices on how to integrate polar concepts into teaching. The group will begin publishing an electronic magazine next spring, but their blog is already up and running on Expert Voices. Kim Lightle of Middle School Portal, PI of the project, would like to hear your ideas, suggestions, and observations. What would you like to know more about? What questions have your students asked about the polar regions? Do you have a favorite activity that you would like to share? Visit the blog to share your ideas, suggestions, or observations, and check back each week for a new post. You can also download the RSS feed for the blog, or request email notification whenever new content is posted.
