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.
