SUMMARY:Geography Teaching for the Future: Leveraging New Ideas
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nIn a rapidly changing educational world filled with AI\, social media\, loosening teacher requirements\, and curriculum concerns across states\, what can we do in geography education to ensure our existence beyond all the unnecessary noise? In this presentation we will share ways to keep geography relevant and get students engaged in the classroom. We will discuss the tools needed to motivate students through the creation of transformational educational experiences. This begins with getting to know who our students are\, what they are interested in\, and what they aspire to become. Geography is in everything that we do\, and what better opportunity than in the classroom to showcase to students all the things they can do with an understanding in geography? We will talk about how to leverage AI and social media to create everlasting learning opportunities that will shape the future generation of geographers! After this\, your principal will see the value of investing in geography and in you! \nSession Focus\nSecondary/High School | Curriculum and Instruction | Pedagogy\, Student Motivation\, Authentic Learning \nConference Room\nLewis \nMeet the Presenters\nJoann Zadrozny\, PhD. is the senior research associate for the Gilbert M.
