Description:

This is the original 3-Disc CD-ROM set produced by the Joint Education Initiative (JEI) project (formerly known as JEdi). JEI is an informal group of government agencies, companies, educators, and individuals formed in 1990 "to broaden educational horizons and promote the advancement of science." It is funded by NSF with the cooperation of the USGS, NOAA, and NASA.

This 3 CD-ROM Educational software set was originally developed in 1990 at the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with NOAA and NASA as well as invited teachers and corporate sponsors. The philosophy behind the disk set and JEI products os that the best way to learn science is by doing science, no matter the grade level of the student. These CD-ROMs bring to the classroom the actual data and tools used by scientists in their research.
