Using computers, satellite hookups, and telephone hotlines, Eckberg's students have already followed a team of cyclists 11,500 miles across the continent of Africa, sat atop Mount ilimanjaro, and sweltered in the Sahara Desert.
This winter they'll interact with an expedition exploring Central America in search of the classic Maya culture.
You can join them.
How? By following Eckberg and his class as they track the adventures of Dan and Steve Buettner, two world-class bicyclists from U.S.A. Starting last month these two bicyclists, joined by archaeologists and a technical support team, are interacting with students via the Internet, the worldwide computer network.
From classroom or home computer, students can make research proposals to the Buettners or the archaeologists at the various Central American locations they've been exploring as part of their Maya Quest expedition.
"We hope that someone will ask a question that can't readily be answered," says Hopkins High School student Barry Anderson. "and through the online activities, an answer will be found — a discovery!"
Having students "discover" why a civilization as advanced as the Maya collapsed in the 9th century is one key goal for the leaders of the Maya Quest expedition. The more important goal is using interactive learning to discover the cause of the decline and compare it to issues we face today — natural disasters, environmental problems, and war.
Ten lesson plans — on topics ranging from the Maya language to the Maya creation myth — have been developed for the interactive expedition.
"Through a combination of live call-in television and the Internet," says Eckberg, "we're hoping to build excitement and engagement in learning in our school."

Chrysanthemum (菊花) tea, made of white chrysanthemums, is a must for office workers in the closed environment with radiation contamination.The white chrysanthemum is regarded as an ideal herb in Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs), which can clear away the heat and poisonous substance accumulated in the body.According to TCMs, the herb can aid in the prevention of sore throat and promoting the reducing fever and cooling you down.It is also well known for making people more alert and is often used to waken them.Ancient Chinese adopted the tradition of drinking chrysanthemum wine in autumn, believing the wine would keep healthy.
Since it’s impossible to drink wine in the office, TCMs doctors highly recommend the chrysanthemum tea, instead, especially for those who suffer from serious radiation pollution or experience dry mouth.However, doctors suggest that weak people (who are very sensitive to cold and always have cold hands and feet) should take less chrysanthemum tea, which will make them feel colder.
Mugwort (艾蒿) tea is another popular tea in China.If you drink a lot of water before sleep, you’ll find yourself looking tired and pale the next morning, and you may feel as bad as you look.Mugwort tea will help you eliminate tiredness and recover your high spirits.Only several grams of mugwort are needed for a cup of tea.The tea may also be effective for weight loss.
