Welcome to the Models as Educational Tools forum which went live today!
The goal of this forum is to provide a place where educators can discuss how they are using models in the classroom as well as share their own experiences, trade advice, and ultimately, and perhaps most importantly, share their own material. The overarching goal of this effort is to create a "living repository" of quality-checked materials which may be downloaded by educators for their own classroom use.
This is a work in progress. We have yet to iron out all the details of how materials will be uploaded and disseminated. However, if you are interested in sharing material or have material you wish to provide, please feel free to post a thread to the forum and we will go from there.
For more background on this effort, please see the article "Models as Educational Tools" in the July 2007 edition of BAMS, which is a meeting summary describing the Unidata Summer 2006 workshop and its goals.
