Here--still under construction--is a "virtual course" about Earth Science based in part on the Earth2Class workshops for Teachers. Each session provides:

• suggested readings from widely-used textbooks, especially Spauling & Namowitz's Heath Earth Science (1999 ed.)

• pertinent E2C Workshops and other resources

• key general concepts

• questions about the key general concepts

• educational technology

• DLESE review suggestions

• "Planning for Your Course" and

• Optional Opportunities

We hope in the future to use this as the basis for a credit-offering program. In the meantime, any feedback you can provide after looking through these files would be appreciated--send you comments through the "Contact Us" menu.
