Description:
NASA's Digital Learning Network (DLN) is about connecting with the next generation of Explorers. The DLN assists in the fulfillment of NASA's demanding mission, '"to inspire the next generation of explorers," by sharing the knowledge and expertise of NASA scientists, engineers, and researchers with students in today's classrooms. Through the DLN, learners at all levels have the opportunity to interact directly with NASA experts, often from their workplace, to gain a new appreciation for the importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education.

Hands on activities were provided, which students enjoyed. Great for younger students.
Great programs
The NASA content is second to none. My teachers cannot wait to participate again in ""My Solar Planet"" next year.
The NASA program brought Space to our classrooms, the abstract concepts were made concrete by these infomative and entertaining presentations!!
Great stuff

Most compelling hands on kits and cool content.
The range of science activities and programs in available, & the knowledge and experience of the presenters is excellent.

NASA provides some of the most incredible experiences for my students. After a VC with them, it's the only thing the students want to talk about.
NASA provides the most professional programs and are always willing to adapt a program to the needs of the students.
I think a virtual field trip should take you to see things you wouldn't be able to otherwise. They did that.
Interesting, but fun for students.

friendliness of staff
Great content
The NASA Glenn Digital Learning Network's videoconference on Space and the Solar System was the perfect fit for my students. The program fit right into my curriculum and answered the questions that I was not able to provide to the students.While studying planets in our science class we visited with NASA. The students loved this opportunity.
NASA's program was one that we were needing to research for our FPS competition. Eventhough the content for our particular session was aimed at an older audience, they worked with us to make it meaningful and useful to our elementary students. Awesome experience!!

I have been in many many museums and these two are by far the best based on exhibits, educational materials and explanations NASA is also very educational but more geared toward space, astronomy.
We were studying planets in our science class. The students loved the opportunity to visit with a person at NASA.
We enjoyed the visit with NASA so very much. It made the study of the planets come alive for our students.
NASA hits a lot of the science standards that are needed for our state.
