International Polar Year, or IPY (2007-2009) is by far the most exciting international scientific and educational opportunity of this century. For the next two years, all eyes will be focused on the physical, social and human dimensions of our planet's polar regions. Watch this blog for news related to Canadian outreach and education efforts related to IPY. Of particular interest to educators!

Polar resources sought for teacher web site...

Hello, I am working on a collection of K-12 educational resources related to polar studies for Teachers' Domain, a free K-12 digital library (www.teachersdomain.org) produced by WGBH, Boston's public television station. We are in the process of searching for media-rich resources (especially those containing video material or Flash interactive activities) that address current themes in polar scientific research as well as issues facing communities living in polar regions. If you have any recommendations for particular resources or interesting leads, please contact me directly at: jessica_gidal@wgbh.org (617-300-3944). Thanks, Jessica * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Jessica Gidal Associate Producer WGBH - Educational Productions One Guest Street Boston, MA 02135 tel: 617-300-3944 fax: 617-300-1057 jessica_gidal@wgbh.org
