  • GREAT L Lgs EDUCATION MATERIAL DIRECTORY of GREAT LARES EDUCATION MA!Z'!ERW
    DIBmmOF GREAT L_lgS EDUCATION MATERIAL DIRECTORY OF GREAT LARES EDUCATION MA!Z'!ERW Published by the Great Lakes Scknce Advisory Board International Joint Commission 1987; reprinted 1988; 1989 Welcome to the third edition of the Dimdory of Gmat Laks Education Materid. lhis pr+d began in 1984, when the Science Advieory Board's Socioeconomics Subcommittee surveyed sevaral hundred educatore and producers of educational programe to determine what matenials they fbund moet ueeful in teaching others about the Great Lakee. The goal of the eurvey wae to deternine wht items were available, and which were used moet often for variow eubject areae and gxwlw. Resub of thie survey were tabulated, and a followup questionnaire was eent in early 1987 to update ~e- eponeee to produce the first edition of thie directory. The eecond edition in 1988 included minor updates to the lietinge. To produce this latest edition, more than 600 educators were emeyed to determine whether there hae been an increase in the type and amount of materials available on the Great Lakes, ae well ae the frequency with which teachers are using these materials. What we found ie encouraging. First, more information is being produced. The wide variety of pamphlets, technical reparts and booklets available from government agencies, environmental organizations and scientific bodies continues to expand, and teachem still find thie information ueeful in developing their own educa- tional progxame. Second, thie information d materiale written epecifically for the educational eetting are getting into teachere' hande more quickly, and &om a wider variety of eourcee. The survey responees hopefully show that greater marketing efforts are being expended to get Great Lakee materiale into the claesroorn, and that teachers are eeebing out information on the lakee more than they were even two wars ago.
