    In 2011 NMSEA expanded its educational outreach efforts by creating a series of short audio clips called “SunTalks”.  Written by Gary Vaughn and recorded by James Newton, these SunTalk episodes explore renewable energy related topics & ideas in an interesting & engaging way. SunTalks are a purely auditory learning experience – like listening to the radio or a short talk on a smart-phone or an i-Pod.
    Each SunTalk is accompanied by a PDF text document which you can download & print & use to follow along with the recorded presentation. The SunTalk documents are written at an 8th grade reading level, but the ideas & concepts that are presented are designed to appeal to “students” of all ages.
    In addition to building & deepening a student’s understanding of the basic principles of “Energy” in general, and Solar & Renewable Energy in particular, the SunTalk audio & written materials can be used for:
-
sharpening listening skills
-
sharpening reading skills
-
improving coordination between auditory & visual learning modes
-
ESLÂ “enrichment”
-
home-schooling resources
