Anybody out there want to connect with the San Francisco Giants?

The information below the dotted line was received through one of the many listservs that promote DL/IVC. While other ball clubs may also have DL/IVC program, the San Francisco Giants are the first ball club I've seen advertising for it. If your students like baseball you may also want to consider checking out programs from the Baseball Hall of Fame - http://education.baseballhalloffame.org/experience/videoconferences.html
======================================
We were hoping you could help us to set up a test connection with a middle school, specifically 6th – 8th grade, to run through our pilot distance learning lesson “Giants Geometry”. The lesson is approximately 45 minutes focusing on geometric shapes present in the ballpark and in the game of baseball. Students will also calculate the area of home plate and participate in a hands-on activity. Attached are the presentation worksheets. Teachers will need to supply simple wooden sticks, such as popsicle sticks, and push pins. My contact information is below, or please contact Linda Vessa at lvessa2@yahoo.com.
