Crow Talk

A special two-day summer workshop is being offered to formal and informal educators who want to learn how to use Google Sky in their classrooms and/or out-of-school time programs. The workshop will take place July 21-22 at the University of Washington. The instructors are Tina Ornduff of Google and UW astronomers Andy Connolly, Simon Krughoff and Julie Lutz. The workshop itself is free; nine clock hours will be available for $15. Participants will learn how to customize Google Sky for different uses including presentations, student assignments and activities. Workshop content includes an in-depth introduction to what can be done directly with Google Sky (constellations, planets, multi-wavelength astronomy, etc.) and instruction in how to add content appropriate to a particular program and/or childrens' interests. There will be time for participants to practice doing modifications. To register or obtain more information, contact Julie Lutz.
