BlueSky Earth Science Students - Virtual Reading with Barbara Bush



A virtual reading experience with Barbara Bush


A handful of Earth Science students and BlueSky Online Science teacher, Julie Johnson, had the opportunity to participate in listening to former First Lady Barbara Bush read the book “Rushmore” by Lynn Curlee.   

Students learned the story behind this national treasure, from the engineering feat of building the landmark to its historical significance.

Schools from all 50 states, Ghana and Canada participated in this event and select schools were chosen to ask questions of the former First Lady.




Mr. Hall Davidson of Discovery Education demonstrated how to use computer-generated, augmented reality to bring books to “life” using a free downloadable app called Aurasma.
