Tbers, I just posted the DRAFT 2008 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Education Strategic Plan to the Teaching Breakfast website. It is an interesting read. NOAA's vision for this plan is to create "An informed society that uses a comprehensive understanding of the role of the ocean, coasts, and atmosphere in the global ecosystem to make the best social and economic decisions." You can access it as: http://www.oneonta.edu/academics/teachingbreakfast/resources.html It will be the first link on the page. NOAA is requesting comments on this draft be sent to: [log in to unmask] Mr. James B.
