The actual repair is scheduled to occur during the fourth space walk of the STS-125 Atlantis mission on Sunday.

Starting and coordinating a 21st.Century work-based learning program are the main themes throughout the two courses. You will learn a good deal about all the work-based learning programs, related curriculum and new computer skills such as blogging, Google Docs, Wikis, etc. Every assignment is "real world applications" for your current classes you teach today or the program you may coordinate in the future.
