SEISMO-LAB Summer School 2023

In the SEISMO-LAB Summer School 2023, the participants will be introduced to the basics of seismology and the value of the studying of earthquakes for the science and for the community. Special emphasis will be given to the use of School Study Earthquake Network’s Data in class. This will empower participants to engage in innovative practices through personal and individualized support, in addition to the provision to the suite of supporting tools.

Concurrently, there will be a focus on the accurate presentation of the network of the seismographs along with its functions. All elements will be displayed in detail and participants by the end of this webinar will be able to use the interactive map, to obtain data from each of the stations, to download data (without possessing an instrument) and to follow and monitor the proper function of the network.

Seismology Experts, Pedagogues, Curriculum Developers, Local Authorities, Advanced Educational Applications Developers and Schools joined forces during the project, to design, develop and validate an innovative professional development program for supporting the in-service training of teachers on topics related to Seismology education as a whole school approach. Thus, apart from Seismology, participants will be familiarized with the open schooling approach that provides a powerful framework to engage, discuss and explore how schools can facilitate open, more effective and efficient co-design, co-creation, and use of educational content tools and services for personalized science learning and teaching and for citizens science.
