Dear Colleagues, 

We would like to invite your contribution to a theme session at the 2006
Geological Society of America Annual Meeting on Geohazards-Teachable
Moments for Students and the Public: An Illustrated Community Discussion
(Session T 40-poster).  This session will address natural and
human-caused geohazards and their impacts on humanity at local,
national, and international scales. We encourage contributions that
explore opportunities to inform students and the public about the
importance and relevance of geology in light of these events.  This
session will be of interest to all members of GSA as a community-wide
forum to explore many types of geohazards and effective ways to use
these occurrences to promote geoscience education in formal and informal
settings. Co-sponsors of this session include: National Association of
Geoscience Teachers; GSA Geoscience Education Division; GSA Geology and
Society Division; Public Policy; GSA Engineering Geology Division



Information about abstract submission can be found at:
http://www.geosociety.org/meetings/2006/abstracts.htm

The abstract deadline is July 11, 2006, and the one-abstract rule has
been waived for contributions to education sessions.  This session has
traditionally been scheduled as a poster session that coincides with the
opening reception of the annual meeting. This Illustrated Community
Discussion is one of a series of forums developed by the On the Cutting
Edge faculty professional development program. Please consider
contributing to this session, and we'll look forward to seeing you in
Philadelphia this fall. 

 

As alumni of one or more of the On the Cutting Edge workshops, we hope
that you'll participate in this session.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite your contribution to a theme session at the 
*2006 Geological Society of America Annual Meeting;*
*
T57. We Can Do Better: Alternatives to the Same Old Lab-Lecture Format 
in the College Classroom (sponsored by NAGT & GSA GeoEd). *

We have had a similar session at the past two GSA meetings and there 
have been many great papers describing innovations in the classroom.  
Perhaps you would consider contributing this year? 

Papers submitted to this and other education sessions don't count toward 
the abstract limit.  The abstract deadline is coming up: July 11, 2006.
