From a teacher in the United States:
Garry! Well, you made history today. Our school had never had a live webcast. You were the first! We got online at about 10:40 and stayed on through the end.
The students were mesmerized. The evidence that it made a huge impression was seen back in class when I asked them to write about what they learned. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such long essays and such focused work!
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this for us.
Here are some quotes from their essays. I will send their
questions tomorrow.
“I wish I could be like Pablo, your student.”
“I learned that some species of plants grow together.”
“I liked it when you showed the tissue of the plant where the water goes.”
“They were doing what we are doing.”
“I learned that we could use green seaweed in a salad.”
“It helped me understand how scientists work.
“I liked that they talked very nicely and clear.”
“We are thinking we could be like you, Mr. Fletcher.”
“They know all about species of plants.”
“”I think Mr. Fletcher, Pablo, and Carolina work so hard.”
“I learned that some plants don’t need water.”
“We learned that weeds stick together. Oscar wanted to know why.”
“I learned that a plant inside the leaf is like a tissue all wet.”

I think I’ll have to get a brochure from Pearson College so I can send them to you in the future.
Thanks again, Maria

From a teacher in Toronto, Canada:
“Thank you for adding me to your notification list as the location and subject
matter of your website are as interesting to me as the technology. I was very excited the first time I saw an elephant seal through the Racerock ‘eyes’ and it’s quite a treat to see the baby seagulls that are the focus now.

Regards from Toronto!”

From a parent Victoria, Canada:
“Thank you for providing such an interesting and amazing site!! My son
and I spent more than an hour viewing the information provided, and he ran off to do more research after! Race Rocks may only be a short distance from where we live, but we had never had the opportunity to see below the surface and learn so much about the creatures that live there.”

Thanks again,
Jackson

From an instructional designer in Chignecto, Canada:
“I am a teacher and an instructional designer with the Chignecto Central Regional School Board located in Nova Scotia, Canada. I am currently designing courses for an online school for high school students in our Board (and perhaps beyond). I would like permission to link to your site:
http://www.racerocks.com
so that our students can explore biodiversity and the classification of living things through the video and information found on your website. I was very excited about the possibilities for students to explore “real life biology” after viewing your site!
