Bringing MARGINS Science to the Classroom
• NSF Course, Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement Program Phase 1 project
• Objective: to engage the MARGINS community of researchers/educators in developing and testing Web-deliverable learning materials that reflect the multidisciplinary nature of MARGINS science (MARGINS “Mini-Lessons”). – Taking advantage of the growing, searchable
MARGINS data resources at MGDS and EarthChem, and new geospatial data visualization technologies (GeoMapApp, Google Earth, etc.).

Rationale for this effort:
• Our discipline is struggling nationally (and internationally!): BS, MS, and Ph.D program enrollments are flat to declining; geoscience departments are under threat. Fewer students are discovering the geosciences in their first two years of college (when they decide on their majors…).
• Current geoscience instruction (as expressed in current texts) does not reflect the multidisciplinary, integrative nature of cutting-edge geoscience research.
• Creating geoscience learning materials more aligned with what we do as researchers can engage more students, and will certainly prepare them better to participate in our research!

MARGINS Science in the Classroom Kickoff:
• MARGINS Education Mini-Workshop (April 7-8, 2007)– 26 participants – Produced 15 Mini-
Lessons (with 5 more under construction…)
– An objective out of this event: a thematic suite of materials based on the IBM Focus Site!

• Development of a thematic “package” of Mini-Lessons based on discoveries in the IBM Subduction System.
MARGINS CCLI Objective for this
Workshop:

To do this: We need your help!
• What are the key IBM discoveries and ideas to get into our courses?
• What aspects of YOUR research need to be in front of students?
• Let’s work together to create some lessons! (We’ll start in the Thurs Eve. Breakout, and continue on Fri, Sat. (There are monies to facilitate…) Bring your laptops…
• Help us test the Mini-lessons! Try using some in your courses, and report back online.
