The document provides an agenda and information for a workshop about volcanoes and preparing for a videoconference simulation on volcanic eruptions and evacuations. The workshop covers volcano types and features, online volcano resources, constructing simple volcano models, and practicing for an upcoming videoconference simulation where participants will assess volcanic and weather data to determine evacuation needs.

rotocol: Food at tables only. Leave no tracks. We are guests. Review: cell phones, bathrooms, breaks, location of food sources Introduction – Overview: Introduction of Participants Overview: Teacher Perspective: Performance Indicators for Earth Science K-8 Sign in sheets Pre-test 10 questions (Anonymous) Ancillary question: What do you teach? Share-out about test/ What do you expect from these sessions? Learning style questions to differentiate instruction ; Why: to highlight the fact that we, and our students, do learn differently. Not a class about learning styles, but we will have varying activities that will hopefully address many different styles.
Extrusive refers to the mode of igneous volcanic rock formation in which hot magma from inside the Earth flows out (extrudes) onto the surface as lava or explodes violently into the atmosphere to fall back as pyroclastics or tuff . This is opposed to intrusive rock formation, in which magma does not reach the surface. The main effect of extrusion is that the magma can cool much more quickly in the open air or under seawater , and there is little time for the growth of crystals . Often, a residual portion of the matrix fails to crystallize at all, instead becoming an interstitial natural glass or obsidian . If the magma contains abundant volatile components which are released as free gas, then it may cool with large or small vesicles (bubble-shaped cavities) such as in pumice , scoria , or vesicular basalt .

Many museums are NYIT TBLS partners and they are preparing to use webcams and an Internet Server (Safari Montage) to deliver video conferencing. Webcams are very inexpensive, and easy to set up using the USB port.
