Session 1 - Wednesday, 22 Jan

...

  • Re-visiting assessment...and I want to discuss that Reich, 2009 article a bit...
  • Talking about the instructional unit...which necessitates talking about writing objectives
  • Getting into geography education. Here are a few links that will be handy
    • I'll be referencing my "What's in a (State) Name?" activity – see it halfway down this page on computational thinking.  
    • Time permitting, I'll also be referencing a ppt that's in CourseSite, 'families and food.ppt'. Since it involves copyrighted images, I'm not putting it out here on the wiki. I'm taking materials from this book
    • If you like, download and install Google Earth: https://www.google.com/earth/  --note that it can also run via a browser, but I think the client-side version gives you more options
    • Lehigh's ArcGIS Online server: https://lu.maps.arcgis.com/home/index.html --we'll be doing an activity in here.

...

    • Sketchmaps: Pick TWO of the following and make a sketchmap – no more than 5 minutes each
      • Map of Mountaintop campus
      • Map of Southside Bethlehem
      • Map of the Lehigh Valley
      • Map of the United States
      • Map of the world
    • Types of maps – I posted a page of links; please explore each and identify what type of map you're seeing in each set. We will discuss at our next class meeting
    • Map projections – read this page that I created for TLT 368
  • Reading
    • Chapin, Ch. 8
    • Materials about writing objectives (see CourseSite for today's session)
    • optional: Alibrandi & Sarnoff, 2006 – I found this very influential in my thinking about what could/should be done with geospatial tools in a social studies class
  • Assignment: Complete and turn in unit overview
