[LTER-education] Science Education Resource Center

[Marty Downs]

Dear Education Managers,

I've been invited to attend a Geoscience Education Infrastructure Planning
Meeting, hosted by the Science Education Resource Center (SERC) at
Carleton. We've talked in the past about whether it makes sense to partner
with SERC rather than hosting our own Education Digital Library
<https://lternet.edu/education-digital-library/> and this is an opportunity
to continue and broaden that discussion. There are clearly pros and cons,
but they are interested in broadening their ecology resources and doing
more with original data and this meeting presents an opportunity to engage
directly with them and explore the options.

*My question for you is: *who has used SERC -- either as a contributor or
an end-user -- and what are your impressions of its strengths and
weaknesses? Do you see opportunities for LTER? For the ecological and
geoscience educators more broadly?

Please share your thoughts -- either in an email to me or on the google
doc, which I've started here, in the Education Committee folder:

Thanks!
Marty
