[LTER-education] The 4th Life Discovery Conference -- Proposal deadline January 15

[Marty Downs]

LTER is a conference collaborator on the Life Discovery Conference
described below. Seems like a great way to connect with educators who might
want to use LTER data or tools in their classrooms. The deadline for
presentation or workshop proposals is *January 15.* Any additional
questions or information, please see the conference web site
<http://www.esa.org/ldc/> or contact Theresa Mourad (Director of Education
and Diversity Programs at ESA Teresa at esa.org).

Teresa says that NEON,  Biodiversity Literacy network (AIM Up, iDigBio) and
GENI have committed to be there and NimBios and SESYNC may be as well. It
should be a good opportunity to network on data literacy and other data use
topics.

*Conference Theme - Data: Discover, Investigate, Inform*

The study of organisms presents myriad forms, visualizations, and uses of
data that stimulate new questions and engender new understanding of life on
earth.  The 4th Life Discovery - Doing Science Biology Education Conference
invites proposals that create environments and opportunities for learners
to Discover, Investigate and Inform with Data. We are especially interested
in proposals that: focus on bringing research data into the classroom,
present classroom-ready data investigation tools, and that feature large
datasets across space and time and that address the developmental needs of
learners, and the socioeconomic and cultural relevance of data in biology.



*Join us in this exciting conference with your best ideas!  We welcome your
proposal for a  workshop or short presentation.  DEADLINE: JANUARY 15,
2017 (extended) <http://www.esa.org/ldc/>*
