2016 Strategic Plan - reviewed the education cluster’s strategic plan for input and approval

Once the strategic plan is finalized it will be posted on the wiki.
If you have anything you would like to add or refine, please reach out to Preston.
Education Committee Objective: potential to add “in-reach.” It may be helpful to disseminate a survey within ESIP to understand what outreach efforts other outreach clusters have already. This may be something to bring up at a goal-setting meeting right before the Summer Meeting.
Action: Alan to create potential survey questions.
Things our collaboration area needs to deliver our objectives? Remember to add ebook funding and call to othe ESIP member willing to serve as guest speakers about drones.
How will others know what we are doing in and out of ESIP? Ebook Distribution, professional conferences
Action: Tamara is coordinating the climate literacy at AGU meeting. Could submit an abstract to present.

Webinar #1 Report Out

Previous webinar went really well. Tapped into enthusiasm and kept an educator focus.
Upcoming Webinar #2: April 26th
LuAnn will introduce and Shelley will host
Provide example activities that the teachers can adapt
Best hands-on thing to do is to use sample data and then analyze it (Alan)
Differentiate between photography and the use of sensors. Two different types of data that are useful for analysis and important for teachers to understand the difference.
Action: Dan to create a sample activity that would help teachers to understand the different types of data
Action: Shelley is open to input, so please contact her if you have anything to add to the webinar.

Pre Event Survey

Before Webinar #2, add a first question to ask if they were in the first webinar. If so, it could send them to a tailored survey.
2nd question: have you tried anything you’ve learned?
Before Summer Workshop: Margaret will disseminate a more in-depth questionnaire when registration opens for the Summer Drone Workshop. This is expected to fill up quickly.

Drone Activity eBook

All sample activities will be pulled together and tested at the summer workshop, refined, and then proposed for the ebook.

-'''Workshop Planning -'''
-* Use of eBook at the workshop: plan to distribute the activities for the ebook at the workshop as far as they have been refined to that point. The educators will take this back to their place of education and work with students, getting back to us with feedback. Once this is accomplished, Preston will start the design for the ebook.
-* Engagement: There are some funds available to keep educators engaged past the initial workshop.
-* Look to the Drupal Committee example, where they have received money to provide those interested with registration or travel fees for a pertinent conference, etc.
-* 1:30 time slot to have 10 minute, short presentations on how they are using data.
-* Make it clear that it should be short sessions with a range of possibilities. It would be helpful to have presenters stick around in the break.
-* Those that will be attending the Summer Meeting to have a more in-depth discussion on May 24 at 2PM  ET to divide tasks and talk more in depth.
-* Actions: Margaret to send a call out to ESIP ALL for presenters, Bob and LuAnn to have offline conversation about presenting. Those attending the Summer Meeting will have a conference call at 2PM ET on May 24.
