Hi Community,

Workshop Location: Colorado College, Colorado Springs, Colorado

Date: June 3-6, 2009

I have attended many of the past workshops and they have all been helpful,
informative, and fun...yes fun.

You will be joining me on a 4-6 person team, here is the original notice:

----
The theme of the workshop is Global Climate Change and IPY.

The purpose of the AccessData workshop is to facilitate the use of Earth
system data in secondary, undergraduate, and graduate education.  As the
core activity of the meeting, participants are grouped into small teams of
5-6 people representing the roles of data provider, tools specialist,
scientist, curriculum developer, and educator. Through team interactions,
participants learn about current data use and perceived needs from other
groups perspectives.  Each team works together prior to the workshop
through some introductory teleconferences and during the workshop to
outline an educational module that utilizes existing data and tools
represented by team members. Modules outlined by each team will become new
chapters in the Earth Exploration Toolbook.

We would also like to assist you in creating DataSheets for some of the
datasets that you work with.

Advertising the availability of your datasets in the form of DataSheets
can increase demand for your data by make them more usable to educators
and students.

In order to facilitate participation in the workshop, we provide either
full or partial support for travel, lodging, and meals.  You can find more
information about the workshop and our previous workshops (this will be
the sixth) at:

For more information please contact me directly and do not respond to the
list.

Thanks for considering,

Jeff
