Since this video was produced in 2002, the JASON Project has become a nonprofit subsidiary of the National Geographic Society; the curriculum was completely redesigned in 2007. JASON no longer does an annual satellite broadcast, but both of the newly designed curriculum units have won a number of awards, including the Software and Information Industry Association's 2008 CODiE Award for Best Online Instructional Solution for the free online curriculum Operation: Monster Storms.

JASON Project Curriculum

My 6th grade Earth Science students have been using the JASON Project's Operation Resilient Storm for the past month. I love that I can send set-up a webpage from the site, assign various tasks (assessments, reading,interactive games, videos, etc), as well as do labs together in class. I teach 6 periods of science and it is very, very easy to manage and my student's online journals are examples of some of their best writing and thinking yet!
