When the connection was made the Columbus North High School group laughed and applauded upon seeing loved ones half a world away. The students presented their roles on the Solar Car team and fielded questions by telephone from eight different sites around Indiana. C-4 teachers Ron Novak and Malcolm Stalcup facilitated the program. The Columbus North team were the Solar Car High School National Champions. They will be targeting the schools that participate in the satellite programs.

There will be an update in the next newsletter. As they enter their second year, these schools participated in a workshop provided by the DIAL Consortium. Pam Todd, principal of Gosport Elementary School, was elected director of this group. This is important because of the recent number of elementary schools that have joined the network. The purpose of the workshop was to help teachers with strategies for designing lessons to be accessed by other schools.
