[Viz] AGU Session on Teaching with Visualizations: Call for Abstracts

[Jim Slotta]

would be fun to see you guys, as you'll be out here in our neck of the 
woods.

Keep me posted if you want to get together in December, or if you'd 
like me to be involved in anything pertaining to this meeting.  We do 
have some new TELS curriculum on the rock cycle that uses some cool 
visualizations.  Not sure the goal is to help kids think like 
geoscientists, though!!
