CORSE 2000 - For Teachers by Teachers, June 26-29, 2000 Gulf Park, Mississippi

General Information
Each session focuses on educational modules which effectively find ways for teaching students to use remotely sensed data and imagery in multidisciplinary ways for the classroom. Methods to access remote sensing information from the Internet will be demonstrated. Breakout sessions enable one-on-one teacher discussions to explore options for teaching with these advanced materials and useful experiences from veteran educators.

Session 1: Remote Sensing Tutorial - Each teacher will receive a CD-ROM copy and instructional use of the award winning "Remote Sensing Tutorial" developed by NASA scientists. Tutorial Start

Session 2: Earth Sciences - This module exposes teachers to the materials and methods used by experienced teachers on remote sensing applications to learning earth sciences. Download Complete PowerPoint

Session 3: Oceans, Coasts and Atmospheres - Remote sensing has unleashed tremendous understanding of the interactions of oceanic and atmospheric processes and dynamics and human activities along the coasts. This module explores useful methods to teach these topics with imagery from the Internet. Download Complete PowerPoint

Session 4: Forestry and Change Detection - Forest resources play a key role in the ecological balance of the planet. Remote sensing data and analysis techniques provide effective ways to introduce these concepts to students. Download Complete PowerPoint

Session 5: Urban Sprawl and Land Cover Change - This dynamics of human transformation of the Earth's surface can best be demonstrated using time series satellite imagery and aerial photography. Modules are provided which capture these learning tools. Download Complete PowerPoint

Session 6: Digital Quest - This exciting series of remote sensing educational modules has been created through the MS Space Commerce Initiative. Download Complete PowerPoint

Breakout Sessions - Teachers will have a chance to revisit each of the above sessions and ask questions of the presenters. They will also discuss the content amongst themselves and determine how it can be applied to their own classrooms. This will be shared at the plenary session.
