Welcome
This 16-week graduate course has been developed at the Center for Educational Technologies™, Wheeling Jesuit University. This course is structured as a collaborative, inquiry-based electronic environment, where teachers from across the United States

• are led by a facilitator;
• engage in weekly online discussions;
• collaborate in learning teams of four to six participants;
• discuss Earth system science and Earth system science teaching practices;
• collect, post, and share Earth system science resources;
• share online journals with their facilitator;
• use Earth system science activities with their own students; and,
• offer feedback to their peers.

By engaging in these activities, participants will

• explain sphere and event interactions in relation to specific events;
• perform analyses of consequences to the spheres and to specific events;
• create collaborative, inquiry-based classroom applications; and,
• use technology as a learning and teaching tool.
