| "AMS @ LDEO"
The American Meteorological Society offers three
online courses for educators: "DataStreme Atmosphere," "DataStreme Ocean," and
"Water in the Earth System." We provide opportunities for participants, past
participants, and teachers who have not yet taken these courses to share
experiences and obtain useful materials.
Here is
"Go with the Data Flow: AMS DataStreme Programs," an overview PowerPoint
presented at the NSTA New England Regional Conference, New Haven, CT, Oct 2005.
The two programs offered during 2004
served as the basis for a poster display in the 14th AMS Symposium on Education.

A third program in
December 2005 included presentations by
AMS Peer Trainers who also participate in Earth2Class. You can view the
PowerPoints from this program about
"Shallow water
ocean waves and tsunamis" by Barbara Robertson and "El
Nino-La Nina" by Jeffrey Williams.
An article about these
and other AMS-supported educational programs can be found in The Earth Scientist
(journal of the National
Earth Science Teachers Asssociation), Summer 2006, pp. 16 - 19: "American
Meteorological Society Education Programs: Peer Training at Its Best."
Melissa Wolk (Garden
City M.S., Garden City, NY) created a set of activities based on selected
DataStreme Ocean activities. She shares
these activities here, only requesting that
appropriate credit be given to her when you use these with your classes.
James Signorelli (The
Academies@Englewood) presented this slide show about
"Meteorology Education: Wind,
Water, Weather & Climate" at the 2006 LDEO Open House.
