eIditarod 2010

Surfaquarium is hosting the e-Iditarod again this year for students in K-8. (Students learn about the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, follow a team, and as many of the posted activities as their own teacher wants. Sewing booties for the huskies? creating maps? estimating times or distances?)

Registration opens 1/9/2010. The Iditarod runs in March, starting March 6th in 2010 - and certificates for students are usually ready for you to print by the end of March.

In order to participate in the project, you must

  • be willing to post to checkpoint blogs
  • have Internet access to the official Iditarod website in your classroom
  • commit to participating in the project through the end of the Iditarod Race
To register:

Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eiditarod/

Click on the button on that page

Use your Yahoo ID or get a free Yahoo ID to login

Follow the directions to join

Once you join the eIditarod YahooGroup you are registered for the project

It's that easy!
