| Opportunities |
Teachers involved in this workshop will:
- Learn about cutting edge marine science and technology, ocean
observatories and the data that they collect
- Explore current scientific
studies that use oceanographic data and how that data has changed our
way of thinking about the oceans
- Develop new curriculum that uses real science and near-real-time data
to teach science content and process and addresses their needs
and the needs of their students
- Be part of a program that integrates the use of
near-real-time data and real science into classrooms at a national level
- Experience a rich opportunity for professional collaboration
and receive classroom resources, stipend, housing, and travel allowance
(exact amounts will depend on the number of teachers signed up for the
workshop)

| Objectives |
The purpose of the workshop is to:
- Educate, excite, and engage teachers with the concept of observatory
(surface, benthic, and pelagic) data in the classroom.
- Develop curricula enabling teachers and students to utilize near-real-time
data.
- Gain consensus on the need/desire for a coordinated effort to
develop National Ocean Observing Systems materials/lessons/curriculum:
- develop a plan on how such a coordinated effort should happen
(next steps),
- and, if there's time and we decide it's appropriate, begin
brainstorming content focus and template format for such materials
- The results from the
online survey that you participated in are here as a pdf file.
