If I thought that sharky-jones was anything but a blatant attempt to use
coral list as free advertising I wouldn't mind. But, as I can see no
educational value on it at all, I think Amanda should be loudly BOOED
and any other of her offerings to the list should be carefully screened

Hi Coral Listers,
I am WAY behind on my readings for the Coral List, as you can see by
which thread I am replying to. As I have been a student at Nova
Southeastern University, one of my classmates in my Biology of Sharks
and Rays course came up with a great "spokesmodel" for sharks, tailored
to the likes of kids. His name is Sharky Jones:
http://www.sharky-jones.com/
If someone could help Ian Jones' idea get out and take off with his
Sharky Jones character, that would be fabulous since sharks can travel
far distances; thus educating us on a wide-array of things the shark
sees... just a thought.

p.s. Thank you very much to all those who replied to my Philippines
thread, I'm working on getting my replies together... I promise! I
forgot how time-consuming being a student again is!

Subject: [Coral-List] Education is the key!
Dear Members of this in the last weeks very interesting List,
Educate the kids! (And as by-product their parents) This is the most
promising
and probably only solution available to change the mind frame.
Important is that we "feed" the kids again and again (it's like
advertising)
We should get the schools, the teachers and most importantly the kids
involved.
For a start;
Let's put together a workshop (there might be already enough suitable
educational material out there) and visit the schools. I am sure there
is one
around your corner!
One could set up a website adjusted to the needs of the kids and the
syllabus
and accompany the kids throughout the school year or school career. Kids
like
competitions; set out some prizes and let them compete for it in a
quiz
(within and between schools)
Important is, that they have a contact / a face they can communicate
with and
(as a highlight) talk to them personally from time to time.
We could search for a mascot (Nemo is probably already protected by some
copyright law". Run a campaign where the kids (schools) have the option
to
choose between different mascots, come up with a name, let them paint .
you get
the point!
This kind of effort would need some coordination and will therefore
raise a
range of issues. - What kind of administrative framework is required?
Who e.g.
would host the website? Is it necessary to set up a new (independent!)
platform?
What is about the Kids that are not blessed with high speed internet
access?
Sponsoring? etc.
I am sure you have some input and answers.
Paul
