| Great BLUE MARBLE - About Us |
|
Great Blue Marble was officially launched on September 1st, 2000. We created
Great Blue Marble to teach kids the joy of learning, and to give families a place on the Internet where they can safely enjoy visiting. Great Blue Marble was developed to help foster positive, and meaningful values to the world via the Internet. We believe the Internet requires more kindness and love. We also believe that an appreciation and understanding of animals and nature is a positive way to enhance global harmony. |
|
Great Blue Marble is located in Calgary Canada. Calgary is one of Canada's largest city, and is located at the Foothills of the Canadian Rockies. Calgary hosted the 1988 Olympic Winter Games. |
|
|
The Calgary area has abundant wildlife including bears, deer, elk, eagles, beavers, and coyotes. Calgary also has one of the largest and most respected zoos in the world. The abundant local wildlife and the Calgary Zoo were part of our inspiration for creating Great Blue Marble. You may visit the Calgary Zoo from the World Zoos Page. |

Blue Marble has hundreds of animations at our web site. Although animated gifs are slow to download we felt it is worth the wait so that the animal kingdom, and nature would be more realistic and meaningful to kids. Great Blue Marble has received many kind comments. We appreciate your e-mails and your support. If you like Great Blue Marble please tell friends and teachers. |

| "I
totally agree with and approve of your philosophy for this
magnificent site! In fact I have been carefully contemplating whether to take off the next school term/ year to home-school my grand nephew who is turning 6 but seems to be losing it in all areas of his development. This site helped to clinch it for me. This will be our general theme for all subjects. He loves learning about animals and it seems the subject that most captures his sincerity. You have certainly reached your goals outlined in " About Great Blue Marble", as on entering the site, I immediately sensed the very things you detailed as your objectives. Thanks for making the effort. Love the animation- it's worth the wait!" S. Clarke
