GLOBE Atmosphere Professional Learning Workshop
NASA Langley’s Science Directorate are global experts in air quality, radiation and climate, atmospheric composition, and active remote sensing. This GLOBE Atmosphere Professional Learning Workshop is designed to provide introductory information, as well as in-depth understanding of atmosphere concepts; specifically focusing on clouds and aerosols, and the relation to NASA’s active Missions studying this area of atmospheric science. It would be helpful for those that are new to GLOBE to complete the eTraining Atmosphere Introduction prior to attending the workshop. This is not a “Train-the-Trainer”; however, this workshop will provide GLOBE Protocol Certification in Clouds and Aerosols and deeper understanding of the topic for current and new trainers. You must register for this event.

What is a Lightning Talk?
A lightning talk is a very short presentation lasting only a few minutes. Several lightning talks will usually be delivered by different speakers in a single session.
Guidelines for NARM Lightning Talks:
A “lightning talk” is an opportunity to give a brief, dynamic presentation on a discrete, innovative strategy, approach, practice, or tool.
· A hard limit of 6 minutes. (A maximum of two presenters is recommended.)
· Intended to showcase your strategy, approach, practice, or tool, NOT your organization.
· The aim is to inspire your GLOBE peers to learn more about your work.
Overall Format:
· Three to four lightning talks will comprise each lightning talk session.
· Each talk will have 6 minutes from start to finish.
· After the final talk, presenters will take questions and comments from the audience and facilitate a discussion in small break-out groups (~35 minutes).
o Possible discussion prompts: What are your clarifying questions? What ideas were prompted by my presentation? In what way(s) did my presentation (strategy, approach, practice or tool) relate to your STEM education efforts? Are there any follow-up steps we can take to further this discussion?
Visual Aids:
· If you opt to use slides, keep slides simple, with little text and lots of large images. Please see Jen to upload your slides (no more than 7) onto a single computer.
· If you are not using a visual presentation, we will project the title of your talk and the name of the presenter(s).
Tips:
· Pose a question to be answered or a position to be defended at the start of your talk. What is the
key message that you want your peers to take away?
· Explain the strategy/practice/tool clearly: define jargon; provide context of its applicability; illustrate it with at least one example.
· Refer to the “how” of your approach: What main steps of implementation need to be followed? What circumstances need to be in place for it to work effectively?
· Explain existing or potential challenges with this approach, with ideas on how to overcome those challenges.
· Include information about how peers can collaborate and learn more.
· Most importantly, “make your point, make it quickly.”
