Google has recently announced a competition for the best K-12 curricular applications of our model of ancient Rome (www.romereborn.virginia.edu), which was published last month in Google Earth as "Ancient Rome 3D." More information about the contest can be found at:

http://www.google.com/educators/romecontest.html

From that page:

"We're accepting curricula from all grade levels and K-12 subject areas
including art history, math, social studies, physics, and philosophy, so whether
you teach 5th grade art or high school engineering, there's glory and a nice
prize package waiting for you.

Teachers submitting the top 6 examples alone or in teams will be honored as
rockstar Google educators online and will enjoy a prize package including:

• Apple MacBook laptop
• Digital classroom projector
• Digital camera
• 3D Navigation mouse"

I would be grateful if you could help get the word out by forwarding this link to appropriate lists and to K-12 teachers you may know.

Thank you very much.

Yours,
Bernie
