- Geography ed: Review of stances
- Geography ed: Discussing independent activities from last week's follow-up
- ArcGIS work
- Types of maps
- Map projections – why is this important? What stance does it fit into?
- Sketchmaps – why is this useful? Again, what stance does it fit into?
- More conceptual framing for geography ed: Geography is different because...
- Geography ed resources, standards
- This is something different: Five Themes of Geography
- Fun things that we can't do properly
- Geography ed + social media --> Population density enactive
- Scaffolded geocache
- Community needs activity
- One thing that IS built for online work: Walking to Water activity
- Instructional frame: Check out this Story Map about water scarcity, created by a local teacher; he then created a second Story Map on Access to Water (for various purposes: drinking, hand water, sanitation)
After class
- Extension activities
- Social media: Find three social media artifacts that you might use to teach geography. Try Flickr, YouTube, Instagram – I'm not picky
- Scaffolded geocache
- Download and install this app on your phone: My GPS Coordinates (Android, iOS)
- Go outside and start the app.
- Figure out which way is north; take ten big steps. Which way did your latitude change? Why?
- Take ten big steps to the east. Which way did your longitude change? Why?
- If you are really committed to this bit, get some sidewalk chalk and draw out a compass rose. Include the coordinates. Then go find a target and note its its coordinates. Get a friend or family member to start at the compass rose with you and then go locate the target, using the coordinates.
- Community needs activity: Grab your phone and go outside. See if you can document one or more resources within walking distance of your house for meeting the following community needs
- Shelter
- Food
- Water
- Transportation
- Communication
- Sanitation & hygiene
- Governance
- Spirituality
- Safety
- Medical care
- Education
- Recreation & leisure
- Reading
- Geography standards: PDE, C3 (see CourseSite folder)
- If you liked the scaffolded geocache: Hammond, Bodzin, & Stanlick, 2014
- If you liked the community needs activity: Zoning & Built Environment manuscript
- If you liked the Walking to Water activity...do you want to write an article about it? Would be happy to help. (BTW, I also need to write a manuscript about the school districts & diversity activity)
