What technology is needed to participate (computer, internet access, software, etc.)?
Because resources for the distribution of printed materials are limited and because a focus of the GLOBE Carbon Cycle project is on emerging and expanding technologies, a computer will be required for both the distribution of materials and many of the activities. Although at this time the internet will be the only way to access project information. CDs will eventually be made available for schools that have either no or unreliable internet access. Microsoft Excel, or a similar spreadsheet program, will be the only necessary software for most activities. • Do I get anything from you — materials, supplies, curriculum, support? At this time all needed information will be distributed in a digital format. As with the traditional GLOBE Program, background materials, activities, protocols and sample unit plans will all be available. You can expect support from the science team in regard to your (and your students) questions concerning scientific content, training and classroom use.
