SUMMARY:Geography\, Student Outcomes\, and Educational Equity: Future Needs
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will present the latest findings from current large-scale empirical research using data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in Geography. Session content will feature forthcoming articles in a special issue of the Journal of Geography.\n\nThe first 20 minutes will be devoted to the results of a descriptive analysis of geography achievement in the United States\, 1994-2018.\n\nThe next 20 minutes will focus on research by doctoral students who used the NAEP Data Explorer to address questions about student achievement and classroom-level “opportunity to learn” variables (e.g.\, curriculum content and exposure\, teacher training\, teaching experience\, instructional modalities\, and processes). Attendees will receive copies of NAEP data reports for small-group discussion and reflection.\n \nFor More Information and Registration Information

SUMMARY:Bug Appétit: How Insects are Creating Globally Sustainable Foods
DESCRIPTION:This presentation is designed to introduce participants to the world of insects and how they are changing the global food scene. It is designed to incorporate science and social studies. Participants will learn background information about the environmental impact of trying to feed the world’s population. Through a variety of resources\, they will learn about human-environment interaction. Content will focus on global communities\, insects as a food source\, and climate change. Teaching methods will be both teacher and student-centered. Kinesthetic learning will be used through a National Geographic mapping activity to teach students about different places around the world and insects that they eat. Direct instruction will be given for background information about insects\, farming\, and environmental impact. Materials will be provided for background reading.

SUMMARY:MAPPING AND MAKING - GEO MAKER INSTITUTE
DESCRIPTION:In order to increase geography awareness\, there has to be training of geographic perspective\, content knowledge as well as exposure to ever-advancing geo-technology skills. With a blending of National Geographic Education resources and ESRI geotechnologies\, Heidi Ragsdale and STEM is My Future\, established the Geo Maker Institute (GMI)\, which provides training for K-12 teachers and students\, focusing on Mapping and Making. The Problem-Based Learning course focuses on this Driving Question: “How can rural educators increase our regional citizens’ Geo-Awareness through GIS and maker training?” This NCGE presentation will include the structure of the GMI training\, resources for implementation\, ideas to share within formal and informal learning settings\, and ideas for establishing personalized learning networks (PLN) for continued collaboration.

SUMMARY:GIS AND STUDENTS' SPATIAL THINKING SKILLS: COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIORAL IMPACT
DESCRIPTION:For many years\, we’ve discussed the impact of GIS on student learning largely through anecdotes and examples. During this time\, the promise of the technology has been real\, but elusive\, especially in the absence of quantitative studies of its impact. For the past few years\, a team of researchers from James Madison\, Northwestern\, Georgetown and American Universities have been conducting an in-depth study to explore the behavioral and cognitive impact of the use of GIS by high school students. In this session\, we will describe the setting for this study (the Geospatial Semester in Virginia)\, the study’s format and the results\, including both behavioral and cognitive measures (explored using fMRI). We’ll share the growing base of evidence for the impact of GIS in learning and make the case for its impact in classrooms.

SUMMARY:HUMAN GEOGRAPHY ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORT THE SDGS
DESCRIPTION:With the adoption of the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015\, countries laid out a vision for supporting the well-being of all the world’s people\, as well as the environment. In this hands-on/minds-on session\, the presenter will engage participants in a classroom activity that introduces students to the SDGs – the aims\, importance\, and status – as well as the interconnections among the different goals. She will also facilitate activities for the classroom that take a deeper look into global inequities as they relate to energy use and climate resilience\, and more localized inequities related to waste disposal. Participants will also engage in an activity that examines “needs vs. wants” and how this differs among communities here and around the globe.

SUMMARY:Contested Landscapes-Mapping Inequality from Redlining to COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:The legacies of social\, economic\, and environmental injustices related to redlining are mapped through the work of the Digital Scholarship Lab at the University of Richmond. New American History explores how our digital scholarship\, including Mapping Inequality\, Renewing Inequality\, and the Social Vulnerability Index helps K16 educators and students visualize complex data using GIS and historical documents to understand how systemic inequities persist in our communities today.

SUMMARY:The Anthropocene: How Social Studies Teachers Should Respond
DESCRIPTION:Many scholars refer to the current period in human-environment history as the Anthropocene (the Age of Humans). No place on Earth is unaffected by human influences\, and the pace and magnitude of environmental change are accelerating. This reality has both practical and ethical consequences for social studies educators. This session brings together ideas related to the importance of human-environment thinking in geography education and the ethics of what teachers should be doing to better prepare students for college\, careers\, and civic life in the Anthropocene. \nPresenter: Thomas Larsen

SUMMARY:The Multimedia Art Approach to Geography in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:When students are able to use a hands-on approach to the learning of different types of geographical perspectives they become better learners.  This session will show you how to incorporate art into any social studies classroom. You will be shown examples of student work across the different disciplines in a social studies department\, as well as\, the classroom. We will also be delving into how to approach and include the art discipline to achieve a cross-curriculum experience. Attendees will be given a lesson plan and shown how to incorporate 3-D or painted geography into their lesson plan to take back to their classroom

SUMMARY:Teaching with GIS\, Even During a Pandemic-Part II: Student data collection with ArcGIS Online.
DESCRIPTION:This session is a follow-up to an introduction to using ArcGIS Online. \nThis session will demonstrate data collection with ArcGIS Online\, a web-based geographic information system that is free for use by K12 teachers and their students. For the past five years\, our team of teachers and university faculty has been using ArcGIS and its related tools to teach high school social studies and science. During the pandemic\, we have successfully shifted our instruction online\, setting up geographic inquiries with data that students collect in their neighborhoods. Learn how to use Field Maps and Survey123\, two tools for bringing data into ArcGIS\, and explore how you might bring hands-on data collection and GIS into your classroom.
