In addition to these buildings, Astronomy Village provides four meta-tools that students can access from any location. The Student Log Book holds notes and drawings. Students cut and paste text from resources within the village, but because of storage limitations, they cannot save images. The Calculator is a standard scientific calculator. The Village Map is a bird's eye-view of the village.
Students can click on the image of a particular facility to go there.
Help comes in two varieties. First, when viewing the map, students can move the cursor around and, when the cursor is over an icon, a balloon will pop up with a description of the item. Second, students can click on a question-mark icon in the toolbar and an index of help titles specific to their particular location will appear. All rights reserved.
