Background: Teaching with Models and Visualizations

Crystallographic visualization programs are just one example of visual models which find application in geoscience education. For a more detailed discussion of using these tools in the classroom and in other educational activities, see the following online resources.

• Teaching with Models, a page on the Starting Point site at SERC about using models in introductory geoscience courses
• Teaching with Visualizations , a page on the SERC Starting Point site focusing on visualization models in introductory geoscience courses
• Teaching Geoscience with Visualizations: Using Images, Animations, and Models Effectively, a Cutting Edge workshop held from Feb. 26-28 at Carleton College
• Teaching Geoscience with Visualizations: Using Images, Animations, and Models Effectively, an digital resource collection growing out of the Cutting Edge Workshop
