Geo2YC Fireside Chats for Fall 2024
The Geo2YC Division Executive Committee is back with another semester of "fireside" chats on Zoom. These sessions are open to Geo2YC members, as well as anyone you want to bring along - invite your colleagues to attend. Days and times will vary to allow participation from coast to coast. Our goal is to have an hour-long, informal discussion on topics of interest to the membership - we'll provide a starting topic, and see where conversation takes us. We hope these sessions will serve as a opportunity to connect, build community, and share ideas in real time. So, pour yourself a cup of coffee, grab a snack, and join us!
- Tuesday, September 10 - 8PM Eastern/5PM Pacific - Keeping classic content current: how do you keep geology relevant for today's society (we're thinking about mineral resources, all things water, climate change, and environmental justice)
- Friday, October 11 - 3PM Eastern/12PM Pacific - Teaching in Shortened Sessions: As more 2YCs push toward abbreviated academic sessions (5, 7, or 8-week terms) let's talk about how to overcome challenges of "covering all the content" and keeping the value-added extras (e.g. field work, career exploration, and more).
- Wednesday, November 13 - 8PM Eastern/5PM Pacific - OER Share-A-Thon: Many of us are using a wide array of open educational resources in our geoscience instruction. Come share your favorite links with us - we'll compile a list to share out with the full membership as well! (https://vccs.zoom.us/j/82972096701?pwd=MFdaQboit0Dv7v9uCkaPr6SvKQa1Y4.1)
