Before Institute: Complete Internet tutorial and exploration (http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/net-learning.html#Tech Stuff), explore the Developer's Workshop (http://developers.ivv.nasa.gov/educate/index.html), review National Science Education Standards (http://www.nap.edu/nap/online/nses), review Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) homepage (http://www.ospi.wednet.edu/index.html), Netscape tutorial.

During Institute: Keep personal journals to record thoughts/questions/notes and atmospheric data (temperature, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, humidity) for an assigned hour for each day. There will also be a "map discussion" each day given by Ernie featuring current events and local weather.

Note: At end of Institute there will be a group dinner at Ivar's Salmon House.
