Re: GEN: Special suggestion/request

In response to Mike's suggestion about weeding older space/astronomy
titles.....

1)  I suggest keeping one or two of the better titles (if shelf space
permits) for retrospective work.

2)  I highly recommend that all teachers and LMSs visit their
state/regional NASA Educator Resource Center.  The collections at the
centers include materials in all formats (print, video, computer
programs, slides, etc.) and go from the beginning of flight to the
current day.  All centers have different "rules," so I suggest contacting
your local center and finding out what they have by way of materials and
services.   In addition, the ERC coordinator can show you many wonderful
net sites for both reference and use with students.

3)  If you are near one of the regional centers, you may be able to
schedule a class trip to visit them.  (Sorry, the state centers are not
set up for class trips.)  I have visited Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt MD and Langley Research Center/Virginaia Air & Space Museum  in
Hampton Roads, VA; both have wonderful displays (some are interactive)
that students of all ages will enjoy.

I am the coordinator for the center that serves NJ and eastern PA.  If
anyone needs the name, location, and phone number of your local center,
please contact me with your city and state.  I have my list of centers at
home and at work, so either email address is fine.
