Educator Resource Showcase Webcast — MY NASA DATA

Join host Renee Elias from the Central Operation of Resources for Educators and special guests Preston Lewis and Susan Moore from MY NASA DATA for an hour-long, free webcast on Sept. 28, 2011, at 3 p.m. EDT. This webcast will focus on how the MY NASA DATA website can be used as a resource in formal and informal education.

The MY NASA DATA website works to make NASA earth science data accessible to the K-12 community. A growing collection of lesson plans on the site helps teachers to incorporate authentic data use in their classrooms. This webcast will focus on how teachers can use the MY NASA DATA website to connect to the Live Access Server and manipulate data parameters from Earth-observing satellites. With visualization options, students can look at data in a whole new light.
