Additional Comments:
Before I departed for the field, I developed contacts with close to 200 teachers around the country through presentations, personal and professional contacts. I planned with many teachers over email and sent them all an information packet about TEA, my research in specific and some of the ways to bring the experience into the classroom. The very low amount of email and real time communication from the field was, however, a disappointment. Between CU-SeeMe, which my school had purchased cameras and software for, not being used and having problems with my email address on the website not working properly I felt very isolated. It was disappointing to have planned interactions with various classes and then not to hear from them on the ice. When I returned, I heard from lots of people who had had their email to me at the station bounce back to them as undeliverable. On the plus side, it has been very uplifting to hear (as I continually do) from the many people who read and enjoyed my journals and pictures (both in the classroom and on their own) but were not able to get in contact.
Did you maintain a daily (or as often as possible) electronic journal while in the field?
Yes
Continued Collaboration with Reasearch Team Members
Type of Interaction / Outcomes / Dates / Locations / Parcticipants:
My primary PI, Dr. Charles Amsler visited my school and school district for several days. He made a number of slide presentations (to a total of 240 students, 10 teachers on three different teams in my middle school (7th and 8th grade) and 50 5th grade students and 3 teachers at a near-by elementary school) about his research experience in Antarctica. At an inservice for all 7-12 science teachers in my district, we did two joint presentations about how to get the most out of a researcher/teacher partnership and how to get involved with one (to a total of 63 people). Dr. Amsler brought me up to speed on the status of all the species identifications that had been going on with our samples and we discussed upcoming publications from the team's work, image sharing, and scientific meetings. Ongoing
How are you sharing your research experience with your colleagues, district, community, etc?
In my classroom:
We have open-ended student driven slide show discussion sessions with digital pictures from my lap top.
We have used the majority of the TEA activities posted on the web site and many of the subsidiary activities passed on by other TEAs.
My students get to be guinea pigs as I develop my curriculum components for the TEA program based on my research experience.
we have used the journals of other teachers as resource materials on projects.
We have seen several different traditional slide presentations.
We have examined SCUBA gear and all the physics behind it.
In my school:
"Check on Ms. Hubbard in Antarctica" buttons with web address on all computers in building.
In other classrooms:
I have shown several different traditional slide presentations.
I have brought in SCUBA gear and talked about the physics behind the apparatus.
With the local Girl Scout Council:
I have lead activities for two years at their annual Women of Math and Science day about research at the poles.
I am discussing development of an older girl event in conjunction with our local science museum, The Imaginarium.

Type of Interaction / Outcomes / Dates / Locations / Parcticipants:
Currently there are no TEA Associates in my district. There are several teachers who have expresses some interest. We are just getting started with this as well as the mentoring. It has been difficult getting enough enthusiastic and creative teachers who wish to spend collaborative time on the project.
