Presentation of the School Seismograph Network in Greece
Presentation of the School Seismograph Network in Greece
Last week, on Tuesday, the 5th of May 2020, Greek teachers were invited to an inspirational presentation of the School Seismograph Network. During the event Dr. Gerasimos Chouliaras, who is responsible for the technical features regarding the network, presented in detail the basics of seismology and the value of society’s interaction with that field of science.
Later, two teachers who host seismographs in the premises of their schools presented good practices of involving the use of seismograph and the seismic data in their daily routines through educational activities.
Additionally, Mrs. Eugenia Kypriotis completed the webinar by presenting Open Science Journal and suggested to participants to consider their involvement as it could work as the final step of students’ scientific research: that of publishing the work.
About 50 teachers enjoyed this interactive webinar and were introduced to the opportunities of citizen science in an educational based on seismology. Very soon, the 2 hours webinar will be published and made available to all interested teachers on ESIA.
The event was welcomed by the Deputy Minister of Education of Greece, Ms. Sofia Zacharaki.
