Calling all Educators Looking for Resources
(formal and informal, K-12, College)
Do you want to discover new ways to connect your students to nature and still meet learning objectives? (Including K-12 standards or Vision & Change Recommendations)
The DemoCamp is designed to provide materials and resources to teachers, educators, and faculty looking for easy to adopt educational materials that engage students with the natural world. The DemoCamp format will allow educators access to open education resources and provide opportunities to discuss these resources with the teachers and educators who developed the materials. With the goal of making this accessible, this will be an informal (but organized) series of small open sessions where presenters can talk about materials and participants can ask questions as needed. Materials will be available in advance and participants are free to attend as many or as few sessions as they see fit and their schedule allows. A schedule with links to resources will be provided before the conference. Come and go as you please! Pick and choose presentations that are of interest to you.
Save the dates: 28-29 June 2021
Platform: Zoom
Cost: Free to all attendees
Both the Event Agenda and Abstract Volume will be updated as abstracts are submitted.
Please use these to help us spread the word!
Promotional Flyers (many organismal options to choose from!)
Are you interested in sharing your resources? Educators work hard to develop educational materials that are impactful and help students learn important concepts. Sharing resources expands the impact of your educational materials and provides accessible resources for educators. Please consider sharing your materials at the 2021 DemoCamp. Materials do not have to be perfect! This is your opportunity to workshop your ideas. Share what you have and get great feedback from your fellow educators. If you would like to share your materials online and via a virtual “poster session” learn more about what it means to present in our Presenter Notes.
Presenter Registration (deadline for registration is June 6th)
