Ask A Scientist
What does the public need to know about
climate change?
How is your research connected to climate
change?
We Need To Talk….
• Changes are occurring in
the climate and in the
ocean…..
• Creating a need for
communicating research
to a broad audience….
• Using communication that
is both accessible and
effective
COSEE OCEAN’s IDEA
• COSEE OCEAN
coseeocean.net
• One of 15 COSEE
Centers funded by
NSF
(Centers for Ocean
Science Education
Excellence)
Let’s Go To The Videotape!
• Everyone is
watching…
• Everyone is filming…
Video Is Already Used Effectively
In A Variety Of Settings
Multimedia Means Good Pedagogy
• Being media literate is
the new norm
Everyone’s Doing It….
• A perfect place for Ocean Science!
And Everything Is On There
• You can learn
anything on
YouTube, from
how to shuffle
cards…
• to how to pick a
lock….
• to how to clone a
sheep!
• How about how to use a
mass spectrometer?
• There’s plenty of room for
even more Ocean
Science content!
Videos Don’t Have To Be Long
To…
•
•
•
•
•
Be effective
Engage students in STEM learning
Reach a broad audience
Improve the image of scientists
Fulfill NSF broader impacts requirements
They Provide Added Value
• Publications can include video
• Videos can be used in classrooms across
the US
• YouTube videos can go viral!
• Videos are cost effective and efficient
Can We Really Turn Scientists Into
Filmmakers??
• Here’s what one novice came up with…
The COSEE OCEAN Template
Seven Steps
• 1. Discover Your Story
• 2. Components of a Successful Video
• 3. Connecting to Ocean Literacy (and how that
can help your video to get seen)
• 4. Make Your Storyboard (including the Story
Arc)
• 5. Create Your Video (prepare and film)
• 6. Compile and Edit
• 7. Share Your Video (and how we can help)
