[iris-bulk] MARGINS mini-lessons workshop

[IRIS]

Using MARGINS Data in the Undergraduate Classroom

A two-day MARGINS workshop designed to refine, complete, and evaluate  
teacher-ready mini-lessons for the undergraduate classroom will be  
held 28th-29th May 2009 at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of  
Columbia University.

The decade-long NSF MARGINS program has generated a wealth of data for  
use in the undergraduate classroom. This workshop will focus on  
polishing, evaluating and publishing on-line a diverse suite of  
teacher-ready mini-lessons to complement those already available.

Important MARGINS data tools and resources, including the MARGINS Data  
Portal, GeoMapApp, Virtual Ocean, SedDB and PetDB will be demonstrated  
at the workshop.

This will be a hands-on workshop. In advance of the workshop,  
participants are required to evaluate an existing mini-lesson or  
provide an idea for a new mini-lesson.

Workshop meals and shared hotel accommodation will be provided.  
MARGINS also has some money available to help successful applicants  
offset the cost of travel.

The deadline for applications is 15th March 2009. The deadline for  
successful applicants to submit materials (an evaluation or a new  
idea) is 15th April 2009.
