The JASON Project is the program that received the AECT Outstanding Achievement
Award at the Nashville Convention.  It is a high tech satellite communications
system that connects at least twenty five sites in the United States to an
exploration ship somewhere on the world's oceans and seas and used underwater
unmanned submarines to explore.  The downlink sites have actual remote control
centers with joy stick controls, so students may control the subs from their
remote classroom sites.  This year, they had exploration of the continental
shelf off of Belize(sp?) and also a remote control camera on top of the rain
forest so students could observe and explore.  Several different types of
scientific studies are done during a two week period with science class project
s being involved throughout the US.  Some students actually get to make site
visits.  We will get to see the downlink site and be able to see some of the
video and technology systems used.
