Site Reorganization
Posted: May 23 2008
The SERC site has reorganized! As SERC's focus has expanded beyond the geosciences we've moved to this new front page to provide a view across all our collaborations. The redesigned Teach the Earth portal can be found via the links on this new front page, as can the new Pedagogy in Action portal. The new structure also has an improved search page that covers all the materials hosted at SERC.
