Christina Gray's Antarctic Log

My name is Christina Gray I am a Freshman from El Molino High School. I am working with my teacher Ms. Walker on Virtual Antarctica. I decided to try this out because I thought it would be interesting to be one of the first students to participate in this virtual experience. So far we have had members of the party that are going to Antarctica visit our school. This happened on November the 28th. We have also had the wonderful chance to play around on the web site. Considering this was my first time being involved with the Internet I was very excited.

When the people from virtual Antarctica visited our school we had a chance to ask them questions about anything we were interested in about Antarctica. They told us about the climate of Antarctica and what clothing they use. We learned about the ship, the passage that they will be taking, and the animals that live there. It was my first time online so I was trying to learn everything I needed to know to use it. My classmates and I learn about the ship, the history of Antarctica, the animal life, and the exploration.

I am very glad that I am having the chance to be involved in the exploration. I think everyone should try to get involved with the Internet because you need to use this technology more and more in the world. It is also a good chance for students to be allowed to get involved in virtual activities around the world.

I think the whole thing was great. I also think everyone should get a chance to get involved with the internet. People would learn so much if they had a chance to do a month of this virtual experience.
