Workshop Goals

(1) – complete the DataSheet

(2) – outline the EET chapter (as much as possible)

DataSheet Template – Tamara

The DataSheet is written for the educator / teacher, objective is to describe the data, explain how the data can best be used in the classroom (for specific applications, to teach specific Earth science concepts, etc.). The educator should be able to then judge if the chapter is relevant for their use(s).

See http://serc.carleton.edu/usingdata/accessdata/documents/index.html and click on DataSheet Template document

Team composition

We decided that a curriculum developer is needed to supplement our remote sensing science and education backgrounds. Tamara will provide us with this person.

DataSheet Information – used by teachers to explore the relevance and complexity of the data

We should complete as much as reasonable before the workshop

This will necessitate selection of a relevant data set, meaning appropriate for continental to global coverage, with the ability to scale down to regional and / or local scale for studying specific local environments if our case study lends itself to this type of local relevance and scaling.

It may be useful to think of two (coarse resolution) NEO-served data sets for initial NEO-based exploration of interactions, graphing, analysis at continental to global scales, followed by a medium to high resolution Landsat data set for local exploration or analysis in MultiSpec, AEJEE, or Google Earth.
