AstroEDU in your classroom
AstroEDU, the open-access platform by the 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 already hosts a wide range of activities for different age groups and across various scientific topics, with particular attention to activities designed to be accessible and inclusive, thanks to the collaboration with the CAP Inclusive Astronomy Communication Focus Group of the OAO and the JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion) Working Group of the OAE. The platform is also testing new technologies, such as an A.I. Assistant (currently under evaluation), which will be introduced to improve the user experience and help users search for the resources they need.
In this workshop, we will provide an overview of the activities published to date and offer insights into how to find the right activity for your classroom. During the second part, participants will be guided through an interactive process of reviewing an activity for publication, going through specific case studies.
In the workshop we will also analyse selected AstroEDU activities with the participants, to highlight and improve their accessibility for diverse users.
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.
