May 18, Issue 96–The National Science Teachers Association’s first web seminar produced in collaboration with the National Science Digital Library. The 90-minute presentation about Hurricanes featured the Digital Library for Earth System Education (http://dlese.org) as a partner library. A summary of the highlights can be viewed at: http://institute.nsta.org/NSDL/webseminar1.asp.

Presenters were Susan Van Gundy, Director of NSDL Education and Outreach and Robert Payo, Education and Outreach Specialist also from NSDL. Van Gundy and Payo focused on resources available from the Library about hurricanes, how they form, how scientists study them, and how they predict their occurrence.

One participant commented, “I enjoyed the discussion of temperature and global wind patterns. It helps to show how we can somewhat predict the coming season.”

This is the first NSDL Online Science seminar given in partnership with NSTA. Monthly workshops are scheduled beginning in September. For more information about NSDL Online Science contact Susan Van Gundy or Robert Payo .
