Abstract
The goal of the Landsat-7 educational program is to bring applications of L andsat data into K-16 classrooms. The educational strategy of the Landsat S cience Team Office relies on collaborating with preexisting education progr ams in NASA's Earth Science Enterprise (ESE), as well as initiating new pro jects. Several current Landsat-based education products and programs are de scribed that address science and geography education content for various gr ade levels. Current and future program developments using Landsat data are also identified for the K-16 classroom. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
