Satellite Link Guidelines

In the world of satellite technology nothing is for certain. The following guidelines have been provided to help facilitate your link via satellite.

• The satellite link from the Brink Expedition site will be for 10 minutes duration.
  
  
• Satellite links will only be conducted on Wednesdays and Fridays. When finalising a time for your call, Brink Base Camp needs to consider international time zones. This may require some flexibility on your behalf.
  
  
• If your satellite link to the site of the Brink Expedition experiences technical difficulties AND your call was less than 7 minutes in duration, you can request a new satellite link for the following Monday.

Satellite Link Prerequisites

• The class should prepare a maximum of ten questions. Due to time constraints all of these questions may not be answered. An on-line transcript of the satellite call including replies to any unanswered questions will be uploaded as a School Room Journal.
  | See an example HERE...
  
  
• The students participating in the Satellite link have been engaging in one of the Brink Curriculum modules during class work.
  
  
• Students questions should focus on subject matter relating to the Brink Curriculum module that they have covered in class work.
  
  
• The phone number supplied by the teacher to Base Camp needs to be a direct line into the room of the participating class.
