Chesapeake Exploration Workshop; August 15-17, 2012

This spring, the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office completed development of Chesapeake Exploration (CBEx), an online set of activities that will provide teachers and students with unprecedented access to lessons designed around real-time data from the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

From July 15-17, we will host a workshop for educators that will provide participants with hands-on training in the use of Chesapeake Exploration and a thorough exploration of the content in CBEx.

During this workshop we will also collaboratively develop ideas for new CBEx activities, and begin aligning the current activities with Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania education standards.

You can access the temporary home for CBEx HERE. Feel free to explore the site and sign up for an account (click on sign in and then create a new account on the following page).
