BernieD asks, "What do you think of this one?"

MidgeF says, "Oregon Trail meets Mars"

BernieD says, "hmmm... yes. Mostly the shopping at the general store
first part of Oregon Trail."

BernieD asks, "What techniques did this author use to arouse our
interest?"

BJB says, "I like the sci fi approach..."

BernieD asks, "SF is intrinsically interesting (or at least it was to
me.) Might not be universally true across genders,
though?"

MidgeF says, "The photograph that is about how our ancestors survived."

MidgeF asks, "Can students relate that experince to one they may have in
their lifetime?"

ShayneR says, "That realism angle again-- that this will really happen
and you may be part of it."

BernieD says, "Realism yes. And the fact that today's kids will live to
see this makes it personally relevant... more so than if
we were talking about terraforming Venus in the year
4010."

Judi arrives ready to help carrying all the information you'd ever want

j'srecorder follows Judi to here.
MidgeF says, "The only thing I don't like about this WQ is the length of
each Web page."

Judi sneaks in quietly
