- The National Lewis and Clark Education Project engages educators in a dynamic
understanding of The Lewis and Clark expedition (1803-1806) and the nature of
the trail's historical and modern landscapes. To achieve these objectives, The
Education Project utilizes advanced education technologies, integrates
interdisciplinary curricula into the classroom, supports scholarly dialogue and
develops multimedia geographical data accessible through the Internet.
Utilizing our 30 station mobile computing lab, conference facilities at The
University of Montana, a robust, interactive web presence, and remote teacher
workshop capabilities, The Education Project reaches out to a wide educational
audience and supports Lewis and Clark education programs across the country.
The Education Project explores landscape change and develops a variety of tools
that assist educators in determining the cultural and ecological interactions
inherent in this change. Comparing contemporary and historical interpretations
of the trail provides a framework for the integration of remote sensing
imagery, Geographic Information System (GIS), and Global Positioning System
(GPS) technologies. Collectively, these new classroom technologies support
interdisciplinary curricula and contextual documentation.
