Educational Resources: K to Post-Doc

This new section within our site seeks to provide material for teachers and students alike. It includes background information, games, cartoons, maps, images and other resources that can help site visitors to enhance their understanding of climate change or their ability to communicate to colleagues, the general public or students. Some of this material may be helpful to environmental, religious or civic groups as they communicate to their memberships or the public about climate change. Some materials such as maps may be useful to more advanced researchers as they prepare materials for public presentation. This section is a work in progress that will undergo regular updates. The Educational Resources section of our site is divided into seven sections:

Prepared primarily by Young Sung, a Korean engineer and journalist who recently interned at the Climate Institute after receiving a masters degree from Johns Hopkins University, this section of www.climate.org provides an extensive reference guide to educational materials on climate change. Some are suited for young children or their teachers, others to middle school or secondary school students and teachers. Other resources may be suited to the general public or in the case of maps or other materials, even to researchers. Also assisting in preparing this section of our site has been Patrick Aberg, a senior at American University who has been interning at the Climate Institute since January 2006. Working with another Climate Institute intern from American University, Nina Rinnerberger, an Austrian national, and Young Sung who did work on identifying Korean sites, he has been developing an extensive section on country-by-country links to sites on climate or energy issues. Some of these country sites may also be useful to educators in developing materials to illustrate the global breadth of climate change impacts.
