Please Join! • NSF—for generous support

  3. Workshop Goals • Help faculty stay current about data, tools, services, and research related to the deep earth. • Address the "big science questions" related to deep earth (e.g. plumes, slabs, drips, post-perovskite, etc.) and explore exciting new scientific approaches • To consider ways to effectively teach about "what can't be seen", at least not directly. • Develop and review classroom teaching activities for undergraduate education using these data, tools, services, and research results to facilitate teaching about the deep earth across the geoscience curriculum. • Help you develop teaching activities about Deep Earth for your own courses. What do you need? We’re here to help!

  4. Outcomes • A fully developed, peer-reviewed Deep Earth learning activity, ready to go! Like the Nike ad says: JUST DO IT!

  5. What to Expect • Whole group “live” presentations • Q/A using “Chat” • Threaded Discussions • Asynchronous; post ideas, comment, reply to key questions, submit your own questions… • Small group discussions • Separate call-in service, to plan and review • Web-Based Work Spaces • Post group summaries • ActivitySheets • Post new Deep Earth teaching activities

  6. Scheduling • Try to attend all scheduled sessions, but… • We understand that you may have unavoidable time conflicts • All presentations will be posted on the webpage • You can join the discussions on your own time. • Plenty of time to work off-line to develop your activity, get feedback

  7. Use the Workshop Web Site to Support Your Work-- • Main Page • http://serc.carleton.edu/36589 • Participant List and Checklist • Program • Technical Information • Discussions • Example Teaching Activities • “Mini-Collections” • Upload activities, documents

  8. Cyberlearning • NSF has asked us to experiment with virtual workshops— • For efficiency and economy • To reach broader audiences • So that you can work with your own materials at your home workspace • Please help us understand how this experience is working for you—Feedback is encouraged!

  9. QUESTIONS? • Use the Chat function (left edge of screen)….John and Mike will moderate. • Now, John will give us an introduction to the communication software and key links on the workshop webpage….
