*(1) Our third MY NASA DATA Summer Teacher Workshop for educators of
grades 6-12 was held at NASA Langley Research Center, July 29 – August 3, 2007.*
Based on comments from participants, the workshop was a success! The group also provided excellent suggestions for next year’s workshop. 
For this month’s E-note, we invited our participants to share their thoughts about the workshop.

/The week began with a very informative trip to Jamestown. Both of our tour guides were very knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts. 
The exhibits were also very enjoyable. I especially enjoyed boarding the vessels.

Most of the week on Center was spent in the education building. The presentations were excellent and provided insight into how teachers 
could incorporate S'COOL, energy budget, and of course MY NASA DATA into their instruction.

The tours were also terrific. I especially enjoyed the wind tunnel tour. It is still a remarkable site after all the years since it was built. 
All of our tour guides throughout the week did a great job answering our questions and giving of their time. This certainly added to the experience.

Perhaps the most memorable aspect of the workshop was meeting other great teachers from around the country. The bus rides to and 
from the Center gave us an opportunity to learn about each other. I am honored to be a part of this group. Thank you.

Absolutely one of the greatest workshops ever............folks there cared about what I was supposed to learn. Most helpful group 
of mentors I have ever had contact with. Lucky me to be part of all of this.

It was exactly what I was looking for - my students generate so much raw data but we don't do much with it. That will now change.

*2) New lessons to be posted in the next few months*

Over the next few months, the exciting new lessons contributed by this summer’s workshop group will be reviewed and edited in 
collaboration with the teacher-authors, and will be posted on the website when finalized. Watch for these new lessons in the near future! 
With the addition of so many new lessons, we plan to reorganize the Lessons Page to make it easier to locate lessons on a particular topic.
