NATIONAL ADVISORY BOARD

In order to disseminate the project's methods nationwide, the partners will draw on the expertise of an Advisory Board of four scholars and teachers with considerable experience in social studies and with educational applications of technology. The members of this panel have diverse areas of interest and represent distinct regions of the country. The Board's participation in the program will utilize the most modern computer communication systems available, sparing all travel expenses. In this way, the project benefits from their experience and advice, as well as their connections to educators in their own localities and in the nationwide organizations to which they belong.
