2006 Earth & Space Education Products Workshop
Brainstorming Session Results
Throughout the workshop, the workshop attendees participated in brainstorming sessions
to help them related each product to national and state education standards. They were
asked to consider three questions: how the product satisfies state standards, what other
materials would complement the product, and what collaborations could be initiated from
this product. The compiled results are listed below.
