Geology Workshop

Course Description

This one-day workshop will focus on using the Internet in the study of geology. Participants will begin with hands-on exploration of a wide range of Internet-based resources, from live earthquake data to collaboration with geologists and volcanologists at the U.S. Geological Survey. Several curriculum projects which use real time data will be introduced. As a result of this workshop, participants will be able to implement Internet-based geology modules, related hands-on activities that elucidate the topic, and several email-based collaborative projects on geological topics. Prerequisites: Basic Internet training; PPP Internet account in school.
