On February 26, our team brought Earthview to the Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Allston, Massachusetts. The Horace Mann School was established in 1869 to serve the educational needs of students who are deaf or hard of hearing. We are excited to be part of this school’s tradition academic excellence for the day. We hope Horace Mann students will use the "comments" link to post their geographic questions for the EarthView team!
This week we have a special treat for students and teachers, our team was joined by five exchange students from Manchester Metropolitan University, which is located about an hour from Manchester, England. The students, along with students from Bridgewater State College, are undergraduates participating in a student exchange program for future teachers. The MMU students will help with the presentation and answer questions from students at Horace Mann.
