This project is designed for 2nd and 3rd grade students studying York County geography and history. Through videoconferencing technology, your class will meet students in other classes while learning about different parts of York County! Prior to the videoconference each classroom will add information to this York County wiki with clues about their city, town, and school district. The other classrooms, using maps, the Internet, textbooks, and other resources, will try to discover the location of each participating classroom. Each class will get a chance to guess, "Where in York County Are YOU?"

"CIVCC.ORG joins content suppliers and educational practitioners who otherwise would not easily discover each other due to the vastness of the internet. The objective is quite simple: make it easy for an instructor or teacher to choose a virtual field trip or workshop for his or her students. Teachers utilize the CIVCC Guide, an ever-evolving directory of video conferencing content venues, to aid them in evaluating content suppliers, interactive video content, and price directly, or within a collaborative experience with other practitioners who have previously shared their opinions and reviews."
Free videoconference every Wednesday at 1 pm. Each week features a speaker from NASA Ames Research Center or NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The focus of the videoconference will be on the speaker's research and career path.
