What Are Teachable Moments
Teachable Moments presentations capture that unplanned opportunity to bring knowledge, insight, and critical thinking to the classroom following a newsworthy earthquake.
Each Teachable Moment:
- Is a 5-15 slide PowerPoint presentation that contains interpreted USGS regional tectonic maps and summaries, computer animations, seismograms, AP photos, and other event-specific information
- Generated within hours of the event!
- Prepared by seismologists and educators!
- A classroom-ready product that can be customized!
- Is pushed to you through notifications when new products are ready!
Teachable Moments are a service of the EarthScope Consortium and the University of Portland
