Rock The Web November 14, 2007
Rock The Web on November 14, 2007. Engage the brand new or soon-to-be voters in your U.S. History and government classes by joining in this first-time "event" for the 2008 presidential election cycle. Specifically designed for high school and college students, the event will allow groups from thousands of high schools to join via the web in a live forum with many of the top presidential candidates. Then they will be able to "vote" through the Rock The Web site. See the detailed schedule by clicking on "Program" under the Schools menu. This event is being presented by The Lou Frey Institute of Politics & Government at the University of Central Florida and the EWN Foundation. along with several partners (see the site).
Schools must preregister (see form or link for "schools" on the home page). A teacher may enroll as the coordinator for his/her school (one
coordinator per school, please). Once a school preregisters, its teachers can receive a log-in, access the accompanying lesson plans to prepare students, and have their students to "register to vote."
