has the following:

Thank you for visiting the educator’s section of our An Inconvenient Truth (AIT) website. We’re very happy you’ve chosen to do so.

* Tier One – The Green Mile to School (672 KB). For this one-day lesson, students are challenged to examine their personal activities and estimate their own impact, while finding ways to reduce damage to our environment.
* Tier Two – Think Globally, Act Locally (894 KB). The stage for this week-long program is set by viewing a series of DVD chapters that detail the science of global warming and culminate with a focus on the Kyoto Treaty and on the U.S. cities that are taking matters into their own hands.
* Tier Three – Small Steps Mean Smaller Footprints (1.2 MB). This semester-long program is highly project-based. After discussing climate change and renewable energies, students will interact with large sets of scientific data and draw conclusions from those interactions. Focusing on their conclusions, students will take action to present their findings to local government representatives, community members, or the PTA.
* Full Curriculum – AIT in the Classroom (3.3 MB).

While donations for Participate.net are solicited, the goals are to disseminate information which corporate controlled media does not. You may have to prove you are a teacher to download the above AIT programs. I didn’t check and you do have to provide evidence you are a teacher to get the free DVD. However, those skeptics who stated above that if Gore and AIT producers wanted to get this info out they should make it free on the web perhaps didn’t look to see if it indeed was available.

Participate.net is giving away 50,000 copies of An Inconvenient Truth to educators. Free copies go to the first 50,000 teachers to sign up, one DVD per teacher.

This statement always reminded me of those professors who like to take credit for their graduate students work, while their input was minimal.

Let’s see what some people with knowledge on the subject says:

“Gore took a critical part [in launching the Internet],” says Dave Farber, a professor of telecommunication systems at the University of Pennsylvania. “He did misspeak, and everybody jumped on him, but he made a very significant contribution.”

Vinton Cerf, the Stanford researcher who sketched out a design for the Internet in 1973, seconds that emotion: “It is entirely fitting that the vice president take some credit for helping to create an environment in which Internet could thrive.”

Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn have explained Al Gore’s contrubutions here.

While it is impossible to say that any one person is responsible for the internet, Gore did indeed make important political contributions to its creation.

I encourage all of you to watch the repeat of the PBS program, Independent Lens, “Democracy on Deadline: The Global Struggle for an Independent Press”, which aired in November and again last night. It will be shown twice on Thursday, 12-20-06 or check your local station for the program.

That would be Thursday, 12-21-06.

Which really is very late Wed night, so I guess my Thursday the 20th confusion was subliminally correct.
