[LTER-education] Live from the Field - upcoming virtual field events and materials

[O'Connell, Kari Elizabeth Bisbee]

Hi everyone,

Just in case you haven't seen this yet --- this project is aimed toward undergraduates, but I think it's accessible toward higher-level high school students as well. This is the project that Claudia Luke talked to you about at the last LTER ed meeting. Thanks to all of you who have made this effort possible!!!!

In May, a coalition of 50+ Field Stations and Marine Labs received an NSF RAPID grant to create a suite of virtual teaching materials and events that provide opportunities for university students to engage virtually with field stations and marine labs during the pandemic. Now, the first round of virtual field teaching materials (attached flyer) is available.

The attached flyer provides links to Ecosystem Exploration videos and the accompanying instructors guide, registration and information for upcoming and recorded Live from the Field events, and videography support for instructors who want to create their own video. The first Live from the Field event for the fall is just around the corner on September 23rd, and we encourage you and your students to register.   The virtual field portal, where all these events and materials will be hosted will be live the end of the month, and I'll send an email out to this group when that happens.

Happy Friday everyone!

Best,
Kari Bisbee O'Connell, Ph.D.
