Hi! Mrs. Hertema’s class had a great time participating again this year and I enjoyed serving as the “technician”. I took photos and video during the quest and created a web page to promote our staff and the event. You may access it here if you want to get first hand teacher and student reports: http://www.bcreek.k12.mi.us/pineriver/news08/08pr_mystery-hert.htm
If there are any errors, please let me know and I’ll fix them immediately. Great job by ALL of the particpating schools.

We had a fantastic time doing MysteryQuest USA! The students loved preparing our posters, and thinking of clues that gave information without giving everything away! They were especially excited that only two of the four classes correctly guessed our location (it was pretty tricky.) The most exciting part for me was when the timer was almost down to zero and we were racing to find the last location. I would definately do this again as it was a great experience. Thanks!

This was our first time doing this and it was great fun and very beneficial. The kids learned a lot about making a presentation, about other states and. about research. But, most of all, they learned something of the power of technology–how they could exchange ideas with other students thousands of miles away in real time. I think it really made an impact. I will definatlywant to do this again. Thanks for the opportunity.
