AstroEDU, the open-access platform by OAE, offers educators a monthly opportunity to discover new, peer-reviewed, high-quality educational activities in the fields of astronomy, Earth sciences, and space science. AstroEDU is today in 3 different languages and is testing new technologies like the A.A.A., the A.I. Assistant (under test at the moment) that will be introduced to improve the user experience.
In this workshop, we will provide an overview of the activities that have been published to date and offer insights on how to use the A.A.A. to search for the right activity to effectively integrate into the classroom. During the second part of the workshop, participants will also be guided through an interactive process that involves analyzing and discussing case studies in the context of the publication journey.
This workshop is designed to introduce AstroEDU to both teachers and researchers involved in education, providing a comprehensive understanding of how to use and create high-quality educational resources that can benefit educators worldwide.
