SUMMARY:The Imagery of Geography: Using Satellite Imagery and GIS to Enhance Learning in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis workshop will focus on leveraging satellite and aerial imagery to illuminate geographic concepts in the K-12 classroom. By delving into the realm of remote sensing and satellite imagery\, we aim to offer educators a fresh perspective on the geographical features and phenomena under study. Participants will explore numerous data sources\, lesson plans\, and resources available from NASA\, USGS\, Esri\, National Geographic MapMaker\, AmericaView\, and others. Attendees can anticipate gaining innovative approaches to captivate and motivate students in their exploration of geography. \nSession Focus\nAll Grade Levels | Visualization | GIS | Remote Sensing | Technology \nConference Room\nXavier \nMeet the Presenter\n \nAmy Logan is passionate about helping K-12 teachers incorporate more geospatial technology into their classrooms. She has presented at state and national education conferences and has co-hosted a two-day workshop for the past 3 summers introducing teachers to a variety of geospatial tools that they can integrate into their current curriculum and lessons. For the past 13 years\, Amy has worked at Iowa State University in Ames\, Iowa\, in the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Support and Research Facility\, as a GIS Research Scientist\, helping with GIS education and outreach efforts.  She is the IowaView state coordinator for AmericaView\, whose mission is to empower earth observation education.  Over the past 5 years\, Amy has been working to share GIS and remote sensing knowledge with more educators and students.  In her free time\, she enjoys gardening\, spending time in nature\, and going on bike rides with her husband and children.
