Breaking down the walls of the classroom and having students connect with the world is one of the powerful learning opportunities afforded by Web 2.0.

Fredericton native Brian Jones is taking his concern for the environment and for student learning to a whole new level in a couple of months when he embarks on a grand adventure – skiing to the North Pole!

Not only will Brian ski to the Pole, he wants to take you and your class along with him! The Ski For Green initiative has resources for students, teachers and other, as Brian teams with Science East to bring awareness to environmental issues and connect with young people.
