How exciting!  Everybody can watch it on TV (Apple 21 or NASA) and I think
NASA TV is also available online.

In recognition of International Education Week, International Space Station
Expedition 12
crewmembers William S. McArthur, Jr., and Russian cosmonaut Valery I.
Tokarev will speak to
students during a live television event at Thomas Jefferson High School for
Science and
Technology (TJHSST) in 6560 Braddock Road, Alexandria, Va., on Tuesday, Nov.
15.

NASA Deputy Administrator Shana Dale and U.S. Secretary of Education
Margaret Spellings
will participate in the live downlink, which begins at 9:00 a.m. EST. Media
representatives
are invited to attend.

International Education Week, Nov. 14-18, is a joint initiative of the U.S.
Departments of
Education and State. This year, the theme is International Education:
Improving Student
Achievement Around the World. TJHSST was established in 1985 to advance
science,
mathematics, and technology education in partnership with industry. The
school also has a
strong foreign language program. Three of the questions posed to the space
station crew by
the students will be in Russian.

The event will be broadcast live on NASA-TV and Fairfax County Public
Schools Red Apple 21
to all TJHSST students and to students in 240 Northern Virginia schools as
well as more
than 250,000 home viewers. Fairfax County Public Schools/Fairfax Networks is
also providing
direct access to the program via satellite to interested school systems
across the country.
Students around the world will be able to watch the downlink via NASA's Web
site.  Today,
we were informed that approximately 24,000 schools with 16 million students
will be tuned
in to join TJ for this historic event.

NASA TV's Public, Education and Media channels are available on an MPEG-2
digital C-band
signal accessed via satellite AMC-6, at 72 degrees west longitude,
transponder 17C, 4040
MHz, vertical polarization. In Alaska and Hawaii, they're on AMC-7 at 137
