In this episode, we tackle a listener question regarding planning a geology trip for students. Both Chris and Jesse have quite a bit of experience in planning and executing field excursions for students. We believe that seeing geology in the field is one of the most powerful learning opportunities for students of all levels. In our discussion, we talk about the difficulties in convincing the higher-ups that this is actually a good idea. We also get into some of the struggles in finding excellent teacher resources. In the end, we get a little philosophical on the importance of getting comfortable with not having all of the answers. We think that sometimes it's important for students to know that instructors don't know it all and together we can perhaps think about things different and come to new conclusions. We hope you enjoy.
We now have a live Mobile App for iOS and Android. There you can learn all the basics of geoscience with our CampGeo content, purchase a visual audiobook on the Geology of Yellowstone National Park, and listen to past PlanetGeo episodes!
