SUMMARY:Beyond the Map: Organizing a GIS-Focused Study Abroad Experience
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nIntegrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into study abroad programs offers students an immersive\, hands-on learning experience that bridges classroom concepts with real-world applications. This presentation will provide a practical guide to designing and implementing a GIS-focused study abroad program\, from selecting a destination and identifying local partnerships to navigating logistics\, budgeting\, and curriculum integration. Drawing from firsthand experience\, I will share insights on structuring field activities\, ensuring access to necessary software and equipment\, and leveraging interdisciplinary collaborations. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies\, common pitfalls to avoid\, and ideas for fostering meaningful student engagement in international geospatial education. Whether you’re considering launching a new program or refining an existing one\, this session will equip you with the tools to create a transformative learning experience for students through GIS study abroad. \nSession Focus\nAll Grade Levels | Technology | Study Abroad\, GIS\, Class Development \nConference Room\nFlannigan \nMeet the Presenter\nMayra Román-Rivera \n
