We all try to apply the resources of our community to assure that the next generation has the best set of tools and opportunities. While we try to prepare our students, our children and our crew for heading out into the wide sea and becoming contributors and leaders themselves, we know that the bon voyage time will be bitter-sweet. Thur, 2 Aug 2007 10:00:00 CST http://www.coseegreatlakes.net/news/20070402 URBANA - Did you know that the Great Lakes make up the largest surface fresh water system on earth? Educating students about ocean and Great Lakes topics can enhance their math and science skills and foster a stewardship ethic, which is key to the wise use of these resources, according to the 2004 Ocean Commission report. A new collection of classroom activities makes these goals that much easier. Tue, 1 May 2007 10:00:00 CST http://coseegreatlakes.net/news/20070321 How critical it is to log our progress on the COSEE Great Lakes ship! Chronicling our voyage and reporting to the outside world is a big part of our presence, not only in our home region but also in the COSEE Network nationally. We post our progress, our plans, our participant information all on this coseegreatlakes.net web site, the creation of Nick Zlonis, webkeeper since before we even set sail.

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 10:00:00 CST http://coseegreatlakes.net/news/20070131 What began as a 1 1/2 day workshop -- EE for the Inland Seas -- for a small group of interested educators was transformed by the magic of web-based streaming video into a desktop inservice program for over 400 COSEE Great Lakes participants! This remarkable opportunity began with the annual conference of the North American Association for Environmental Education [NAAEE] in October 2006 in St. Paul, MN. Wed, 31 Jan 2007 10:00:00 CST http://coseegreatlakes.net/news/20061122 On October 26-7, seven COSEE Great Lakes staff met with eleven members of the program's Advisory Board. The Advisors represent formal and informal education in the region, Great Lakes research science, and the national COSEE Council. The objectives of this first face-to-face meeting were for staff to demonstrate activities, products and evaluation of the first year, and for Advisors to suggest areas in which they could serve the project.

Their ship was the 180-foot long U.S. EPA Great Lakes National Program Office research vessel, the R/V Lake Guardian, contributed for this education workshop and staffed by EPA scientists. The cruise was the first major event of the Center for Oceanic Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) in the Great Lakes, a consortium of educators and scientists assembled to promote science literacy through study of the Great Lakes, America's inland sea.
