Winter the dolphin visited more than 500 students in Pre-Kindergarten thru 8th grade at Independent Day School in North Tampa this morning. She visited them via the Web through Skype. Students virtually met and interacted with Winter. Fourth grader Mia Torres even got to get in the water with Winter and help the trainers. This is the first time CMA hosted a live and customized feed to a classroom. This event was part of the school’s Young Authors’ Conference. They have been reading Winter’s Tail, and have based some school curriculum around it.
This event marked the launch of a new program CMA is offering to classrooms around the world. CMA L.I.V.E. Linking Into Virtual Education will allow classrooms around the world to customize topics for their kids, based on their needs. Topics include dolphins, sea turtles, river otters, shark behaviors, animal care, ecology, what it takes to be an animal trainer and more! Topics can be customized and cost $149 for a 30 minute session and $199 for a one-hour session. The only equipment needed is a computer and a webcam.
