Click Here: Check out "College of Exploration - Classroom Exploration of Oceans" Workshop opportunities Classroom Exploration of the Oceans: An Online Virtual Teacher Workshop Series The National Geographic Society and NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration with support from the College of Exploration will host a 9-part virtual teacher workshop series using the excitement of ocean exploration to identify how ocean content can enhance learning in the classroom. Dr. Sylvia Earle, NGS Explorer-in-Residence, will introduce these workshops and inspire teachers on the importance of ocean education. Scientific experts will present keynote lectures and be available for an open dialogue. Teachers will be provided with relevant and useful information for their classrooms. Teacher Consultants will provide first-hand experience on introducing ocean content to students, and provide a network of peers to provide advice and answer questions. Teacher resources will include access to research findings, lesson plans, links to news stories, magazine articles, video clips and Internet links to ensure that their students become ocean literate. The workshop series will introduce a wide array of topics that are linked to the Geographic's Ocean Atlas Teacher's Guide, NOAA's Office of Exploration lesson plans, and the new Oceans Scope and Sequence for K-12 Teachers. http://www.dlese.org/people/diversity/index.html Forwarded by Bonnie Bracey [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
