Rip Currents
This is a podcast that Corey created in preparation of an Apple School Night my class participated in this past June 2008. We worked in collaboration with the National Weather Service and their recognition of the first week in June as being National Rip Current Awareness Week. Corey thought this would be an important area to create a podcast because people in our community were recently getting caught in rip currents with some of them dying. This podcast was converted to a quicktime movie and shared with the school. The National Weather Service has viewed the podcast and is posting it on their website as a learning tool for children and appreciate his efforts.
