Amid its sea breezes, stately oaks and softly-treading deer, Ossabaw Island has seen an unusual amount of student activity this summer, a situation that will help bring this singular environment into classrooms across the state.  Located just seven miles from Savannah, yet accessible only by boat, this barrier island is the host for OssaBest, an ITEST project that brought 40 students and 30 teachers from Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools together where the students collected weather data and took GPS measurements, information that will be placed on the program's website, making it available to anyone with access to a computer.
