A final note about the TEACHER ON THE TRAIL, ANNIE KELLEY a 4th grade teacher from
Chicago, Ill.
This is a program for one educator in the country selected early in the year to enter into a one year
agreement to teach beyond the traditional classroom walls via internet and be involved in a project
that reaches students around the world.
They fly the teacher to each checkpoint to learn, first hand, what goes on behind the scenes of the  Iditarod. They create standards driven lessons, using research based techniques and integrating
technology as a tool for teaching and learning.  They are in constant contact, via the internet and a daily blog, with classrooms around the world. It has been a well accepted program for many years.
