Engaging the NAGT Membership in Creating Web ResourcesThis project pilots the use of the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT) website to showcase the educational work of members, sections, and the national organization; and fosters improved communication both within and beyond the organization. At the same time, the project explores the potential for creation of thematic collections on topics of high interest to the geoscience community that can be shared with DLESE. Our work taps the field-trip expertise of the NAGT membership to create materials about both the design and management of field trips for a wide variety of educational and professional audiences. An important part of the website content is the collection of field trip guides and materials. These guides are frequently unpublished or published in literature that is not well indexed. The collection of these materials on the NAGT site and the ability to discover them through DLESE creates a critical resource for teachers and faculty teaching in the field about local geology. NAGT is well positioned to create such a resource because field trips and field geology play a central role in the activities of eight regional sections in the United States and Canada, and because much of the needed technical infrastructure for creating such a collection is in place at the Science Education Resource Center (SERC) which hosts the NAGT website. This project will involve modifications of the SERC content management system to enable contribution and editing of web resources by individual NAGT members, and to support development of interfaces and help documentation for the system. These are the critical steps needed to support development of a thematic collection on field trips and additional collections by NAGT members and members of other groups that use the SERC content management system for website creation.

让NAGT成员参与创建网络资源该项目试行使用全国地球科学教师协会（NAGT）网站来展示成员，部门和国家组织的教育工作;并促进组织内外的沟通。与此同时，该项目探讨了就地球科学界高度感兴趣的专题建立专题收藏的可能性，这些收藏可与DLESE共享。我们的工作利用NAGT成员的实地考察专业知识，为各种教育和专业观众创建有关实地考察设计和管理的材料。网站内容的一个重要部分是收集实地考察指南和材料。这些指南通常未出版或出版在没有很好索引的文献中。在NAGT网站上收集这些材料，并通过DLESE发现它们的能力，为教师和教师在当地地质学领域的教学创造了重要资源。NAGT是很好的定位，以创建这样一个资源，因为实地考察和实地地质学在美国和加拿大的八个区域部门的活动中发挥着核心作用，因为创建这样一个集合所需的技术基础设施是在科学教育资源中心（SERC）的主机NAGT网站。该项目将涉及修改电监会的内容管理系统，使全国电信协会成员能够贡献和编辑网络资源，并支持为该系统开发接口和帮助文件。这些都是支持开发实地考察专题收藏品以及NAGT成员和使用SERC内容管理系统创建网站的其他团体成员的额外收藏品所需的关键步骤。
