Saturday, March 18, 9:00 am – 12:00 noon – Boston Harbor Habitat Atlas Workshop
The Boston Harbor Habitat Atlas is a digital resource in development that aims to connect educators and students with information about biodiversity, ecosystems, research, management, and citizen engagement related to coastal and marine habitats of the metro Boston area. A prototype of one habitat has been completed, and feedback from educators is sought to better shape the content, tools, and relevance of this resource to be meaningful in addressing teachers’ needs and new state standards.
Come to the Museum of Science, Boston, on Saturday, March 18 from 9 – 12 and learn about the Atlas and what it has to offer, and share your thoughts on how it can be used in classroom and/or field-based teaching, and what further processes of refinement are needed. This free workshop will be co-facilitated by the Museum of Science Educator Resource Center and by Atlas developers from Northeastern University and the Encyclopedia of Life.
