NatureShift! is a student and Internet-centered, standards-aware and curricula-based project focused on the interaction between the natural world, human society, and history. Using virtual environments based on Web Adventures, Real World Adventures, and student-created Web projects, students and teachers at 12 demonstration sites will be immersed in authentic problem-solving situations, and linked with practicing experts at the Dakota Science Center and regional partners. Intensive training for teachers, students, parents, and community members will form the foundation for this project. Using new technologies, Grand Forks Public School District One in North Dakota will develop six major curricula (Weather Watch, Dakota Skies, Wounded Hawk, TeleRobotic Adventures, Grandparent's Attic, Ranger Rosie) that engage and educate learners. Collaborators include 5 school districts (3 on Indian Reservations), 2 libraries, 3 museums, University of North Dakota, state parks and game and fish wildlife organizations, and consulting scientists and business partners.
