Description

How can a classroom science teacher utilize the Earth Science Digital Image Library (ESDIL) that is found in NYLearns.org?

Russ Agostaro, author and photographer of the collection, took the time to develop the Instructional Strategies Grid for utilizing the ESDIL collection. As a former classroom science teacher himself, Mr. Agostaro documented over a dozen engaging ideas an educator can employ to successfully engage their students in this unique Earth Science content. The Instructional Strategies Grid provides the pedagogical support for the ESDIL resources.
