For Developers: Recommendations to Data Providers from the NSDL Using Data in the Classroom Workshop
- Overarching Recommendations: Discussion at the Using Data Workshop focused on the importance of data access infrastructure and services that enable students and educators to meet their learning goals.
- Detailed Discussion: Workshop discussions centered around 3 main questions - What format/environment would you like to see (e.g. user interfaces)? How would you want to be able to find the data you need? What manipulation/visualization tools would it useful to you for data providers to have available in the digital library?
- Scenarios: These scenarios picture how students might use NSDL to access and use data in our classrooms in the future.
- Developing Effective On-Line Educational Resources in the Geosciences: This On The Cutting Edge website helps faculty navigate questions about making teaching materials into web resources, questions like: Why would one want to make web teaching resources? How to find and make use of other faculty's resources? How to create online resources of your own?
- Criteria for Data Sites that Support Effective Educational Use: A set of guidelines developed by the DLESE Data Access Working Group for evaluating how well a data site is aligned with the needs of educators.
- Reuseable NASA Images: Reusable, copywrite free image files of Earth graphics useful as a base for more specific illustrations.
