Pennsylvania's Delco News Network (10/26) reported, "Technology brought live sharks into Jennifer Iavarone's class of sixth-graders at the Garnet Valley Middle School when they used video conferencing equipment to speak directly to an apprentice trainer at Mote Marina Laboratory in Sarasota, Fla. for a program titled, Sharks!: Devouring the Myth." The event was part of a larger initiative called SeaTrek, which "has a goal of bringing the ocean world to students through imaginative delivery of interactive science education programs and to foster understanding of marine life." The article notes, "Use of video conference equipment is just one of the ways the Garnet Valley School District is increasing its involvement in STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) initiatives while still complimenting a solid foundation of reading, research, and critical thinking."
