About this Catalog; its goals and purpose

The catalog is an on-line resource center visited by thousands of students, teachers, and others working in the field of education.

Building educational partnerships is a principle goal. We are working to bring people and programs together that can help one another. In this effort, the catalog serves as a common reference point, a place from which to discover and explore the programs and web sites of others.

Our perspective is not only to encourage California's educational institutions to work well with each other: e.g. K 12 schools, science centers, universities, and public television. But to foster partnerships bringing together the sectors of our state: such as cities, state agencies, community organizations (non-profits), and businesses. Education needs support to thrive. In turn, efforts to build a sustainable California will itself be un-sustainable without strong public education.

Funding is painfully needed and in short supply for education. A goal of the catalog is to bring together important funders and wonderful education projects, highly worthy of support. We are encouraging leveraging and efficient use of funds, the sharing of resources, while discouraging unnecessary duplication of efforts.

The catalog itself promotes scores of California education programs in a powerfully effective, cost efficient way.

Its web pages are designed to be printer friendly, easily shared, and to work well on computers new and old.

The main purpose is to be an aid in strengthening and expanding leading educational programs, while helping new efforts to get off the ground, and to flourish.

Our Hub Web Sites

A hub web site such as ClimateChangeEducation.Org plays a special role. Also known as a portal site, its where visitors can find hundreds of links to great resources in a subject of their interest.

If you have an educational program and web pages on climate change and/or energy, our site is the place to be -- especially if you seek a larger audience, or if you are interested in making connections and forming partnerships. Being on-line is one thing, but with web sites now numbering in the millions, being found by quality visitors is another thing. In the past 12 months, ClimateChangeEducation.Org has drawn over 1/4 million visitors. A high percentage bookmark us. There is no charge to be on the site. Link Up

For web visitors, especially those doing serious research, a good portal site is a highly valuable find. Here are scores of resources, organized to help you find what you are looking for; new discoveries on every page; put together by people who care and are involved in your subject of interest. Automated search engines are amazing tools; but they can't compare to hub /portal web sites in the quality of information they provide.

Energy-Education.Net is a new site, a project of ClimateChangeEducation.Org.

Who is Climate Change Education.Org

We are a volunteer organization. Many of us are docents or interns at California's science centers and museums. Others are teachers, scientists, engineers, artists, web designers & techs. Still others are high school and university students.

Hands-on science demonstrations is our specialty--our principle contribution to the body of original educational material. An example is the Global Warming Discovery Demo, a favorite at science centers and museums, in K 12 schools, UC classes, and at large community events.

Much of our work is bridge-building, encouraging partnerships in education. The California Catalog is a web version of this.

Energy-Education.Net is a newer project of ours. The focus here is on energy efficiency, conservation, energy alternatives, and teaching basic principles about energy, electricity and electrical power. We are working to promote the California Energy Bike project -- an exciting hands-on demonstration on these energy topics.
