Meeting focus:
The Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE) is a community-centered resource for people interested in learning about the Earth. This year's annual meeting will focus on Broadening DLESE. Specific goals are to develop strategies to:
- Expand the users and contributors to DLESE
- Facilitate efforts to develop earth science data/tools for educational use
- Expand DLESE's collection of earth science educational materials
- Strengthen ties between research and educational practice, evaluation and assessment
Goals for participants:
Strand groups will develop strategies and implementation plans to:
- Increase the number and diversity of users and contributors to DLESE
- Develop ideas and plans for facilitating and encouraging the development of earth science data/tools for education use
- Identify needed content for DLESE and develop plans to develop that content
- Build connections between research and educational practice, including the use of evaluation and assessment and science/education partnerships
Each strand will contribute to the development of an overall strategic plan for Broadening DLESE.
Optional skills workshop:
A skills workshop will be offered prior to the meeting on Saturday, August 2nd. These sessions will be focused on activities to teach specific skills. The topics of the skills workshop were selected on the basis of your requests and our resources.
