Measles is making a comeback with many outbreaks around the world. This is an educational pamphlet with a brief overview about the measles and the importance to get vaccinated. Measles is highly infectious and young children or adults with chronic diseases are especially susceptible. It is important for everyone to get vaccinated.

This manual provides simple demonstrations to show how lenses and mirrors are used to create telescopes. It was created for use by the Night Sky Network of astronomy clubs.
This simulation allows the user to project CO2 sources and sinks by …
This simulation allows the user to project CO2 sources and sinks by adjusting the points on a graph and then running the simulation to see projections for the impact on atmospheric CO2 and global temperatures.
How might Earth's temperature change in the future? Use this model to …
How might Earth's temperature change in the future? Use this model to explore how changing human emissions of greenhouse gases might affect the temperature. The model incorporates positive and negative feedback loops. Ice cover and cloud cover change in response to the level of water vapor and temperature in the model.
This interactive displays how climate variables are changing over time (temperature, CO2, …
This interactive displays how climate variables are changing over time (temperature, CO2, Arctic sea ice, sun's energy, sea level, etc.) in graphical form. Students can easily examine over 50+ years of archived data.
Global Forest Watch is an interactive, online forest monitoring and alert system …
Global Forest Watch is an interactive, online forest monitoring and alert system that provides users globally with the information they need to better manage and conserve forest landscapes.

With this simulation from the NASA Climate website, learners explore different examples of how ice is melting due to climate change in four places where large quantities of ice are found. The photo comparisons, graphs, animations, and especially the time lapse video clips of glaciers receding are astonishing and dramatic.
This animation shows predicted changes in temperature across the globe, relative to …
This animation shows predicted changes in temperature across the globe, relative to pre-industrial levels, under two different emissions scenarios in the COP 17 climate model. The first is with emissions continuing to increase through the century. The second is with emissions declining through the century.

This is a brief tutorial for teachers and/or students in using the main features of Google Expeditions and Tour Creator. I demonstrate the interface of the Expeditions app on iPad and Smartphone, both from a teacher and student perspective. I also show an example of the Tour Creator which is newly available from Google/Poly and has potential for student artifact creation as well as custom teacher-made materials. In an attached document I explain how these newer functions satisfy the concerns expressed by some toward VR and how they support a Digital Didactical Design teaching model.
