at NASA. The Web seminar was designed for educators of grades K-6.
Twenty-one (21) participants were present at the live Web Seminar in addition to
the presenter and NSTA staff. Participating educators represented the states of
Arizona, California, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, and Texas. One participant attended the program from Spain. Seminar
participants received a one year subscription to one of NSTA’s SciGuide for completing
the evaluation form at the end of the program.
Here are some comments provided by the participants at the end of the Web Seminar:
- "Keely (the presenter) had so many suggestions for resources to bring
science to the schools and get the parents involved.”
- “I enjoyed the suggestions from participants as well as the presenter suggestions.”
- “I LOVED learning about opportunities to apply for selection to be a
NASA school!”
- “I was not aware of the priority that NASA was giving to promote and
support family participation.”
Thanks to the participants and the presenter for the learning opportunity, the interactions,
and a job well done!
