Congratulations! The compiling of registration data from LIT leaders (a few are still to be heard from!) indicates we have about 625 participants in 81 LITs operating with participants in 45 states. We are grateful to all of you LIT leaders and other LIT members for this superb effort.
Preliminary reports from LITs indicate the overall operation of DataStreme has been going well. We appreciate the "Reports from the Field" that have been sent to Ed Hopkins. We would like to see more, especially from LITs and participants in weather-impacted areas. They add the human element to weather.
Materials for the second meeting (weather radios, books, temperature strips) are being shipped to LIT leaders as registration materials arrive. Your quantities are based on the forms we have received. If the box has not arrived by Monday, 9 October, contact us so we can track its location.
Mentors should remind their mentees of the upcoming mid-course meeting. Everyone (participants and LIT members) should bring their Pressure Blocks (for Activity 5B) to the mid-course meeting.
LIT leaders are reminded that you need to use both the DataStreme Expense Reimbursement and Program Group Meeting Forms from the back of the LIT Manual and attach receipts to it for meals from meetings.
A Reminder. "Alums" from previous terms may be invited to your meeting and are covered in meal reimbursements. Besides keeping in contact with them and encouraging their resource teacher efforts, they can provide feedback on classroom use of DataStreme activities and learning materials. Efforts to stay in touch with prior participants should be a priority with your LIT team.
As you know, we have had Internet delivery problems. COMET is working to get the satellite and radar imagery back on line. In the meantime, we are transmitting some of these products from another source (Thank yous to Plymouth State College). Also, AMS Boston's service had a severe case of the hiccups for about a week. That has been cleared. Such is the world of study using near real-time data.
