- Abstract
Bring innovation to your Earth science teaching by accessing the Earthlearningidea (ELI) website (earthlearningidea.com). The website is full of imaginative teaching approaches such as the 'All Powerful' strategy for approaching fieldwork in a new way, the 'What was it like to be there?' way of getting a feel for how rocks form, physical modeling activities that enable visualization of long-term geological processes, gaming activities that are large-scale simulations and others. These are just a few of the innovative approaches available through the website; there are many more. Earthlearningidea activities are free to download as pdf documents, each one fully describing the activity and how it can be used in teaching. There are more than 300 activities currently available in English, with a new one being added every two weeks. The latest figures show that Earthlearningidea pdfs have been downloaded more than 5 million times at a current rate of more than 45,000 per month, the ELI blog has been accessed from more than 200 countries and there are over 1000 translations in eleven languages on the website. Do join us by accessing and using Earthlearningideas and telling your friends and colleagues about the Earth science education innovations available at the click of a computer button.
