The workshop will be to introduce the Paleobiology Database and its open capabilities to instructors who would like to use it to teach concepts of earth history, evolution, and paleobiology to their students of any age. We will then guide the development of additional student activities (lesson plans, lab activities, active explorations, videos, etc.) by workshop participants for them to use with their own students and to upload to the PBDB system to share with others. For this workshop, please bring your own laptop. We do NOT recommend using a tablet, although it may work, you will want a full keyboard and larger screen.
