Exploring ways to make the InTeGrate Mineral Resources module your own

Tuesday, May 29, 2018

11:00 am PT | 12:00 pm MT | 1:00 pm CT | 2:00 pm ET

Presenters: Joy Branlund (Southwestern Illinois College)

This webinar is part of a series supporting teaching with InTeGrate principles, using InTeGrate-developed and curated materials as tools.

Registration is closed.

Summary

Although InTeGrate's Humans' Dependence on Earth's Mineral Resources module was designed to be taught in a 2-week portion of an introductory geoscience course, the materials it contains can be used in different orders or even on their own. Also, the interdisciplinary nature of several of the activities lend for their adoption in other types of classes. Using participant input as a guide, this webinar will provide examples of how the module material can be adapted to meet diverse needs in different types of courses.

Goals

At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • navigate the Mineral Resource Module and identify parts of the module that are helpful for course planning
  • identify whether components are interdisciplinary and what disciplines are involved
  • show how modules replace or link to traditional geoscience topics
  • determine activity type and/or skill practice in the different modules
