New training opportunities from Ocean Explorer

New dates added for 2008!

The professional development offerings listed here include opportunities for teachers and other educators to engage in learning more about ocean exploration. Opportunities will focus on how educators can use the mathematics, science, and technology associated with exploring the oceans in their classrooms to help increase awareness and understanding of the ocean world. These offerings are designed to introduce educators to premiere ocean scientists/explorers and their research and explorations, and at the same time, provide exemplary tools and resources to engage students in ocean exploration by bringing the classroom closer to the ocean than it has ever been before.

NOAA Creates Hurricane Education Site

"Preparation through education is less costly than learning through tragedy." - Max Mayfield, Former Director, NOAA's National Hurricane Center

NOAA has created an education site for teachers that helps teach about hurricanes. Teaching materials, multimedia visual information, an archive of previous hurricane seasons and posters are available at this site.

History teaches that a lack of hurricane awareness and preparation are common threads among all major hurricane disasters. By knowing what actions you should take, you can reduce the effects of a hurricane disaster.
