Online Resource Directories
Like your local library, DLESE is made up of a wide variety of resources, collections, and services. DLESE's educational resources include lesson plans, scientific data, visualizations, interactive computer models, and virtual field trips—in short, any web-accessible teaching or learning material. Many of these resources are organized in collections—groups of related resources that reflect a coherent, focused theme, such as the Discover Our Earth collection. All resources in DLESE have been contributed by community members, are relevant to Earth system science education, and are checked periodically for technical stability.
The Bridge is a growing collection of the best marine education resources available on-line. It provides educators with a convenient source of accurate and useful information on global, national, and regional marine science topics, and gives researchers a contact point for educational outreach. The Bridge is supported by the National Sea Grant Office, the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP), and the National Marine Educators Association (NMEA).
