Welcome to 2025!
Welcome to 2025! I hope everyone had a great holiday break. (Hopefully you got a break!)
I'm extremely happy to introduce the new format for ITT. ITT's first publication was in 2011 as a way to provide additional resources to earth educators. Members received a printed magazine quarterly. This was very successful, but there was a limit to how much information could be published. ITT then transitioned to a fully online publication in 2022. The online magazine format accommodated more articles, larger articles, and more pictures. We have taken the evolution of ITT one step further in 2025. More
