Maintained by TECFA.
Please note that "Education on the Internet" does not in principle
concern "Education Technology". However, since people do send us
a lot of pointers and since we use some, there we go .....
Note, however that we don't have the resources to bring this page

- The Earth's uniqueness as a planet in the solar system will be the
primary focus of
JASON
Project Expedition VI Planet Earth. The exploration will take
place in Hawaii beginning in February of 1995 to look inward at the
formation of the earth in which volcanoes are a central part of the
story and outward at the solar system to see how the earth compares
with other planets. The mission is to learn why Hawaii like Earth is
an island in the sea, an oasis for life in the vast universe. Students
throughout the world will take an active part in the expedition through
"telepresence" and advanced applications of telecommunications which
allow them to operate robotic research vechicles remotely. The JASON
Project is sponsored by the JASON Foundation for Education in
collaboration with NASA, the United States Geological Survey, the
United States Biological Survey and other participating organizations,
including EDS Corporation, Bechtel, the National Geographic Society and
the U.S. Department of Education. Dr. Robert Ballard, discoverer of the
Titanic and the battleship Bismarck, is the founder and lead scientist
for the JASON Project.
