2003 GSA Contributions: Using Data to Teach Earth Processes
An illustrated community discussion at the 2003 annual meeting of the Geological Society of Americas. This session was designed to allow the entire GSA community to come together to share and discuss how we use data to help students learn concepts, think scientifically, and develop their skills in making interpretations and communicating conclusions. We invite contributions from throughout the geosciences involving all kinds of data in the full spectrum of approaches to helping students of all ages learn geoscience.
