Dear InTeGrate and GETSI Communities,

You're receiving this email because you signed up for an InTeGrate or GETSI interest group. We wanted to share with you exciting updates to these materials that address the currency of their data and promote their long-term use.

  1. Materials where robustness of data needed strengthening: As part of The Improving Sustainability of Data-rich Activities through the Community Contribution Tool workshop at the 2024 Earth Educators' Rendezvous, participants identified and updated materials where the robustness of data may need to be strengthened. At the bottom of this email, we've included a list of the modules that received updates.
  2. If you've continued to use these materials and have insights you would like to share with the community, we encourage you to use the Community Contribution Tool. You can find a link to it on any activity.
  3. If you would like to track whether others share back their experiences with the materials you've authored, you can get email notifications about the materials you've authored by going to the Favorites interface and clicking the Track My Contributions button. You can learn more about this new feature in the Favorites documentation page.
  4. Learn more at the upcoming webinar Updated data-rich activities to use in your classroom now  Mon Feb 3, 2pm ET

 

Regards,
Sean Fox
