  2. Outline of the Workshop • Overview of the Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) • Demo – Search for a Data Set and Data Service • Demo – Metadata Authoring Tool • Search for Earth Science Data and Services (On Your Own) • Discuss Results • Write a Description of Your Educational Resource (On Your Own) • Discuss Results • Feedback/Discussion/Conclusion

  3. Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) • Enable the scientific community and the public to discover and access Earth science data and services. • Facilitate the creation of metadata to make scientific information available to the public.

  4. For Teachers • Find data you can use in the classroom • Climate Data • Land Cover/Satellite Imagery • Geographic Information Systems (GIS) • Find data services related to education • Classroom Activities • Lesson Plans • Stand Alone Educational Software • Web-based Interactive Educational Programs

  5. For Teachers – Data/Service Accessibility • Majority of data and services are free • Free access to information/resources for teachers • Registration is required for some resources • Data and services are available online and offline • Direct online download • Direct online access • Order CD-ROM/DVD and/or other media • Contact provider to receive resource

  19. Example of Student Questions Question: I am a student and have to write a cause and effect paper on global warming and the greenhouse effect. I was just wondering if you had any information you could email me about these two things.

  20. Example of Student Questions Response: Hello, the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) offers many Science Briefs related to Climate Change that you may find interesting. Please see: http://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/briefs/ I would also recommend visiting the Global Change Master Directory's Global Warming FAQ. http://gcmd.nasa.gov/Resources/FAQs/glob_warmfaq.html. NASA's "Eyes on the Earth' web site is another excellent resource. http://climate.jpl.nasa.gov/
