******************************************************************************************* AGU 2011 Session: ED47 Teaching Mineralogy, Petrology and Geochemistry in the 21st Century From: Kirsten Nicolaysen <nicolakp@xxxxxxxxxxx> ******************************************************************************************* Dear all, As the August 4th deadline approaches for AGU abstract submission, we invite you to propose a presentation in the following session. Teaching mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry in the 21st century Teaching mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry (MPG) evolves with advances in technology and pedagogy and with integration of content due to changing department curricula (e.g., Earth Materials courses). We seek contributions presenting integrated MPG curricula, research on student learning of MPG, and/or teaching activities on MPG topics. Contributions may emphasize connections between course content and the broader geoscience curriculum and/or emerging topics (e.g., geobiology, climate change) that heighten course relevancy for students. Sharing inventive and engaging activities, effective assessments, and research on learning enhances our ability to effectively teach the next generation of geoscience leaders. Please contact us with your questions or interest in participating as an invited speaker.
