[Ecoed] Call for abstracts for the ESA Resources for Ecology Education * Fair & Share

[Jennifer Riem]

Dear ecology educators,

Have you developed a classroom activity to engage undergraduate students
in lecture, laboratory, or in the field? Share your activity with other
ecology educators at the Resources for Ecology Education Fair & Share
(REEFS) at ESA's Annual Meeting in Milwaukee! 

At this year's meeting, ESA's Office of Education and Diversity Programs
will host an informal event during the lunch break (11:30-1:15) on
Tuesday, August 5.  REEFS is a free event and will be open to all ESA
attendees. The session will include several rounds of concurrent
presentations by faculty who will each bring a lab, lecture, or field
activity to share with other attendees. REEFS is an opportunity to share
what you've developed with your colleagues where you can receive
friendly input and suggestions on how to further develop your activities
to incorporate student-active methods. 

Interested? All you need to do right now is to submit an abstract. The
final document that presenters will share during the session will
provide more details about the activity, such as: learning objectives,
timeframe, core ecological concepts addressed, instructor version
(materials, procedure, any other necessary information), and student
version (instructions and handouts, if applicable).

In order to submit an abstract, please email the following information
