Good morning

We wanted to share a great opportunity for High School teachers  
(especially science or social studies).  MMSA is holding a workshop  
addressing the teaching of climate change issues using technology on  
December 6th (more info below).

Dorsey, whose contact information can be found at the end of this email.

Climate Change: Teaching Through Technology Workshop in Augusta Dec. 6

Climate change is one of the most talked-about topics in our society  
today. But how do you teach about a topic so recent that it's not  
covered well in most textbooks? And how can you  bring the importance  
of climate change alive for your students? See how you can use  
technology and digital resources to do just that at this Dec. 6  
workshop at the MMSA offices in Augusta.

This workshop for grade 7-12 teachers will delve into the science  
behind climate change and provide hands-on experience with a variety  
of Web sites and online tools that can help you engage your students.  
Deb Avalone-King from the Maine Department of Environmental  
Protection and Chad Dorsey from the Maine Mathematics and Science  
Alliance will help you learn how to make pressing issues about  
climate change understandable while involving your students with real  
scientific data and vivid satellite imagery. This workshop will help  
you learn how to use Google Earth with students, provide a ton of  
great Web links, and give you exclusive "behind-the-scenes" access to  
a comprehensive new Web site being developed to address issues  
involving climate change and oceans.

No matter how you currently approach the topic of climate change,  
you're certain to leave this workshop with fresh ideas you can easily  
use with students. Learn more and register today at mmsa.org/events.
