INFORMATION ITEMS

1. MARTIN GIFTED AND TALENTED MAGNET MIDDLE SCHOOL "MARTIN GOES TO

EVEREST"

Martin Gifted & Talented Magnet Middle School partnered with Cisco, MCNC, WebEx, American
Institute of Healthcare and Fitness, Arch Rock Corporation, and WRAL.com, to ascend to the top of
Mount Everest with Chip Popoviciu, an engineer with Cisco Corporation. Students were able to chart his
progress towards the summit with WebEx, a web-based environment, which allowed students to dialog
with Popoviciu while he worked toward his goal. Videoconferencing between the students and Popviciu
while at basecamp, as well as with a classroom in Indiana, made tangible the opportunities of technology
as a necessary tool for 21st century learning. The Everest Project provided opportunities for collaboration
across disciplines, and allowed for an opportunity for students to take this learning to the wider world
through Golo, a blog environment through WRAL.com. A student-designed flag summitted Everest with
Chip to commemorate the educational synergy between adventurer, middle school students and local
business partners. Fiscal Implications: None. Recommendation for Action: Information.
