AB: Earth science data and data access and analysis tools have, for the most part, been collected and developed for and by scientists. The Earth Exploration Toolbook (EET, http://serc.carleton.edu/eet) has been developed in order to facilitate the broadest use of those data and tools . The EET makes Earth science datasets and analysis tools more accessible and usable by educators and students through the development of chapters which provide step-by-step instructions on how to access and analyze specific data to understand an Earth science concept within an interesting context. We have provided both face-to-face and online-telecon workshops featuring specific EET chapters to teachers to help them learn how to use and teach with data. During this presentation we will discuss the content of the EET, the components of the EET chapters that help teachers and students access and use data, and how effective teachers feel specific chapters are at making the data accessible and meaningful as reflected the outcomes of our DLESE Annual Meeting workshops and telecon-online workshops.
