Getting the Word Out
by Damon Hargraves - Monday, August 25, 2008, 10:56 AM
  There has been a flood of blog activity generated by BSSD over the last few weeks. It's great to see what you all have been doing during these first few days of school.

However, not many people will see your blog, unless you "link it up." One of the best places to do this is the Blog Abstracts page on the BSSD Wiki. Also, the more you can link and cross link your blogs with other sites the better. Not only is it easier for people to navigate around and follow links to your site, but search engines also follow those links. The more links you have coming into your site, the higher your ranking in searches.

Birds of Shishmaref - New Site!
by John Concilus - Saturday, August 23, 2008, 01:02 PM
  Hello,
Ken's Birds of Shishmaref Site
Well, Ken Stenek is at it again. Due to the popularity of his classroom blog on the birds of Shishmaref, he has launched a new blog focused on " Sightings, Reports, and Web Pages About Birds In and Around Shishmaref".

This is a great resource, and we look forward to seeing students contribute to the images, audio and video of the avian tourists up there!

The potential for place-based education projects like this in our district is really almost limitless. Students will be contributing to a very interested and authentic audience. Check it out, and poke around a little.

Since they have a steerable webcam, visitors could even take a "virtual birding trip" to the Chukchi wink Hmmmmm.......

The Paint the Plane Project
by Damon Hargraves - Wednesday, August 20, 2008, 05:27 PM
  This school year marks the 50th year of Alaska statehood, and many unique opportunities to teach our students about their state are popping up all over the place. One such opportunity is the Paint the Plane Contest. EED and AlaskaAirlines are partnering to help in Alaska's celebration and will paint an AlaskaAirlines 737 with a student design. Click here for the entry form, and here for more information.

The deadline for this project is October 18th.

Let's all keep our eyes open for more special Alaska projects this year. And, as always, share them in the forums and on the wiki!
