Discussion of implementation plans: How do participants envision using IGUaNA curricular materials in their courses?

Show discussion prompts

Hide

• Are you planning to use one or more of the IGUaNA curricular modules in your course(s)? 
  • If so, which module(s), in what course(s)? 
  • If not, why not? 
  • If you're not sure, what factors are you weighing to make a decision? 
• Are you planning to have your students collect and analyze geophysical data? 
  • If so, what kind(s) of data will they collect? How will that fit into your course(s)? 
  • If not, why not? 
  • If you're not sure, what factors are you weighing to make a decision? 
• Whether you're planning to do geophysical data collection, use IGUaNA modules, or both, how do you envision integrating this new material into your course(s)? Where will it fit, and how will you make time for it? (What will you cut to make that time?) 

6:15  Break

7:00  Dinner at The Library Sports Grille & Brewery

Friday, August 12

Morning: OPTIONAL field trip to Blair Wallis and Veedauwoo Rocks. We will visit the remarkable granite outcrops of Veedauwoo that attract geologists, hikers, and rock climbers to the area. We will tour the Veedauwoo Glen trail and offer the chance for scrambling on the boulder fields for those who would like to get their nose on the rocks. The trip will start and end at the hotel. We will gather for departure at 8:30 AM and return to the hotel at noon.
