The Environmental Cyber Schoolhouse is a set of interactive, web-based curricular units geared toward students in grades 9-12. On the site, students can choose one of two "quest" scenarios through which they can help characters confront an environmental problem and return to good health, much like an engaging video game. One quest - the Sports Quest - delves into asthma through a teenage basketball player named Charlie who begins to have breathing problems while exercising. Students must follow the story lessons in a linear fashion and successfully complete each chapter quiz before moving on to the next chapter. Visit the site at http://www.cyberschoolhouse.org/. |
