Blog post explaining all about Earth Cast 2010 [] You can view the archived sessions from 2009 here to get an idea about what different people did during their hour slot. This year we're also offering half-hour slots. One of the teachers last year, Sheila Adams, had her students create a trivia quiz that other students and participants could try to answer. It was lots of fun![| http://www.earthbridges.net/earthcast09]
