A school wide subscription, $99.95, is licensed for every teacher, staff member, and all students to access the Insider site on one or as many computers as there are staff and students in a building. (Please note, an individual subscription IS NOT licensed for public sharing and may not be used with your students. PLEASE upgrade to the appropriate fee structure if necessary to ensure your students don’t miss a moment of this year’s race. Contact us if you have questions about how to upgrade your account.)
For the FIRST TIME EVER, GPS Tracker is now available for purchase, making it possible to track all of the mushers during the race. Insider GPS Tracker lets you follow the entire field 24 hours a day until the last team reaches Nome. You’ll know how fast teams are traveling, distance between teams and checkpoints along with current temperatures on the trail. The fee structure is the same for GPS Tracker as it is for Iditarod Inside Video.
You can purchase both or the option that best meets the needs of your students.
SPECIAL SALE PRICE: Tracker for the Classroom: $28.00, Tracker for the entire school, $69.95.

“Where’s my musher?” is a common chant heard in classrooms around the world. Today more than ever, Iditarod provides resources to help students not only read the race data, but see the sights of the race, and hear the sounds of the runners on the ice via Internet adventures thanks to Iditarod Insider.
Here’s what Government Hill Elementary School Teacher, Mrs. Morris from Anchorage, had to say about Iditarod Insider:
“The most exciting part of our Iditarod unit in my second grade classroom was for the kids to come to the computer lab and be able to see the heli-fly-overs from Insider on the big screen. We also used the virtual map. We put a map of the trail on the bulletin board in the hall and tracked the mushers with musher/sled/dogs down the trail. We utilized the musher biographies from your website. I purchased Insider last year (2006) and loved it. However, I was so impressed this year (2007) with the new additions, particularly the heli-video-clips. Thanks to all!”
