My students used their class out of time to find the mystery classes as an
extra credit project. The students were very interested in finding their
locations. It was great to watch the students find websites that put them
right at their location. This was especially true for the South Pole
Station, since one of my students found a picture almost identical to the
entrance into the South Pole dome. Even better, it was from an
individual's personal webpage that included other travels and even family
birthdays! Yet, this one site was the clincher for those students. Thank
you for a wonderful project and I look forward to doing it again with my
class next year!
