[LTER-education] NEON educational opportunity

[Jill Haukos]

EOC folks -


The information below seems formatted for a formal classroom environment but I can see potential for adaptation into an informal setting.


Jill



Are you interested in having your students work with real data to learn key concepts while gaining valuable data skills? Do you want your student to be able to address large-scale ecological questions using data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON)? Join the QUBES/NEON Data Education Fellows Faculty Mentoring Network (FMN) and implement educational materials using NEON data in your classroom. The Faculty Mentoring Network format allows you to interact with colleagues who are also implementing NEON data-centered activities in their classroom to learn from what each other does.



If you already teach using NEON data, join the FMN to share your education resource with others and prepare it for publication. For more information check out the QUBES/NEON Data Education Fellows page:
