Get Involved in EDs Future Although the student-tested Energy ED simulator has already been created, we know that teacher input will enhance its effectiveness. We are currently working with educators who would like to help shape curriculum and participate in a 2004-05 pilot program in Wisconsin and Iowa.
Directions Before filling out the survey, you must view the 5-minute Meet Energy ED multimedia CD-ROM presentation. If you do not have a copy, please click here to have one sent to you free of charge. For best results, the presentation should be copied to your PC's hard drive. Windows users -- copy the contents of the folder called "Windows." Macintosh users, copy the folder called "Macintosh."
