And now Earthlearningidea has reached India

Earthlearning idea has reached Australia

We are delighted that we now have subscribers to ELI in Australia. Our aim is to reach every country in the world so please help us to spread by telling your colleagues, and particularly teacher- educators, about us.

We are busy writing new activities and already have some very good ideas ready for publication from September this year.

Coming soon - - video clips to demonstrate our activities.

ELI in New Zealand

Earthlearningidea has reached Auckland Girls' Grammar School in New Zealand. We hope the teaching ideas will spread from there across New Zealand and maybe to Australia and South-east Asia.

Thank you for your interest and support.

Earthlearningidea has reached South America

We now have a subscriber from La Plata, Argentina. He is willing to spread our teaching ideas to as many establishments as possible.
Brilliant!
Thank you.

Earthlearningidea is now in Canada

We have heard today from a member of the Geological Survey of Canada. He assures us that details of our exciting project will be circulated widely throughout Canada in September.

We shall be publishing one new earth-related activity in the months from September to December and then one a week will be produced for 2008, the International Year of Planet Earth. As you can see from the previous posts, we are gradually spreading across the globe but we still need to reach lots more teacher-trainers in all countries. Please help us.

Earthlearningidea has reached the States!

A link to Earthlearning idea will be posted on the Earth2Class website. Earth2Class is a science/maths/technology resource for teachers, students, the general public and geoscientists. It is a collaboration among researchers at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University curriculum and technology integration specialists from Teachers College, Columbia University and Colegio Bandeirantes, Sao Paulo, Brazil, and classroom teachers from New York, New Jersey and elsewhere.

Kathmandu International Study Centre, Nepal

We have received the following positive response from the Kathmandu International Study Centre. "Many thanks; Earth Learning Idea seems very exciting especially as you will be using the International Year of Planet Earth and publishing one activity per week. The sample activity, 'Quake Shake' was spot on for here, where we have an earthquake drill every term. Keep up the good work; it is imaginative and I think will meet a need in many poor countries like ours. Poverty doesn't only mean money, it means poverty of experience, learning, thinking ability - - - even books."
