Teaching glaciers and glaciation in schools: free online talk by Dr Bethan Davies, 14th July
Join Dr Bethan Davies at 4pm on 14th July for a free talk on using antracticglaciers.org as a tool for teaching Glaciers and Glaciation to high school and college students.
Bethan will outline the key features of the website and how it can be used to support r teaching through providing interesting and informative content, case studies and student activities. There will then be an opportunity for discussion and Q&A, where teachers will have the opportunity to ask questions, and to give feedback on the website and make suggestions.
AntarcticGlaciers.org is an award-winning website that offers a freely available, accessible, up-to-date and trustworthy source of information about glacial processes and climate change. It is supported by Royal Holloway University of London, the Quaternary Research Association, Geologists’ Association, Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research and the British Society for Geomorphology.
This website, which was written by UK academics as part of an ongoing commitment to education, outreach and impact, includes teaching resources, student projects, explainers, and study skills targeting the knowledge content and skills development in the current post-16 Geography syllabus.
We hope to see you there! Further information on registration can be found here: https://sedsonline.com/events/ and here: http://www.antarcticglaciers.org/2020/06/free-talk-about-teaching-glaciers-and-glaciation-in-schools-seds-online-14th-july/
