Climate Education Resources from NOAA, NASA and CIMSS
Tune in to this 1 hour webinar on Thursday July 10th for updates on trusted climate education resources, starting with NOAA’s climate.gov website, recent recipient of two Webby Awards – learn why! This presentation will be followed by an overview of NASA’s amazing on-line resources and suggested uses in science classrooms. Finally, a few resources from CIMSS at the UW-Madison, including the new Climate Digest product which conveys a visually appealing global climate brief each month in support of a climate-literate society.
