Description:
A wide variety of training opportunities for pre-service and in-service teachers are available through the Consortium for the Application of Space Data to Education (CASDE). This consortium was created to provide mechanisms to integrate NASA's extensive data holdings and advanced information system technologies into education. CASDE is dedicated to providing the educational community with vast amounts of NASA imagery, tools, educational resources, and interdisciplinary activities. CASDE tools, tutorials, a useful "building-block" curriculum structure, classroom ready posters, and interactive laboratory kits, have all been developed by the consortium to introduce the basics of interpreting space imagery and incorporating potential applications of NASA data to the education community and other interested parties.

The leadership of CASDE comes from three organizations, including the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, Center for Advanced Land Management Information Technologies, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the University of Nebraska at Omaha Office of Internet Studies. Through these three organizations, the CASDE staff offers a variety of periodic staff development opportunities for educators (both pre-service and in-service) and other professionals (such as resource managers), who are interested in gaining more information or training related CASDE resources.
