1.) Update on current tools to aid classroom instruction. 2.) To learn from other Institutions how Instructors deploy current teaching tools. 3.) To better understand the advantages and disadvantages of on-line teaching modules and the use of the local WEB internet to aid instruction. 4.) Finally, to bring Drexel University back on line using UNIDATA applications with current computer technologies and multimedia presentations.
Currently, I teach a basic undergraduate elective Atmospheric Science Course lasting 2 quarters (20 weeks) of instruction. At beginni of each class-room I utilize UNIDATA weather data extracted from the WEB in a weather analysis/forecasting mode. The students really become streatwise concerning weather forecasting.
General comments: My wife and I will be driving to Boulder from Philadelphia. She will need accomodations with me at the CU College Inn (same room). We both attended your Workshop together 3 years ago. Most likely, she will interact with other spouses of spouses attending the Workshop. This approach worked out well last time.
