问题     Who said the only way to learn about a country you can’t visit is by reading a book? Dan Eckberg’s television students at Hopkins High School know better. They’re seeing countries and learning about cultures with the aid of electronic communications.
    Using computers, satellite hookups, and telephone hotlines, Eckberg’s students have already followed a team of cyclists 11,500 miles across the continent of Africa, sat atop Mount Kilimanjaro, and sweltered in the Sahara Desert.
    This winter they’ll interact with an expedition exploring Central America in search of the classic Maya culture.
    You can join them.
    How? By following Eckberg and his class as they track the adventures of Dan and Steve Buettner, two world-class bicyclists from U.S.A. Starting last month, these two bicyclists, joined by archaeologists and a technical support team, are interacting with students via the Internet, the worldwide computer network.
    From a classroom or home computer, students can make research proposals to the Buettners or the archaeologists at the various Central American locations they’ve been exploring as part of their MayaQuest expedition.
    "We hope that someone will ask a question that can’t readily be answered," says Hopkins High School student Barry Anderson, " and through the online activities, an answer will be found — a discovery!"
    Having students "discover" why a civilization as advanced as the Maya collapsed in the 9th century is one key goal for the leaders of the MayaQuest expedition. The more important goal is using interactive learning to discover the cause of the decline and compare it to issues we face today — natural disasters, environmental degradation, and war.
    Ten lesson plans — on topics ranging from the Maya language to the Maya creation myth — have been developed for the interactive expedition.
    "Through a combination of live call-in television and the Internet," says Eckberg, " we’re hoping to build excitement and engagement in learning in our school." [br] Dan Eckberg and his students learn about Africa by______.
