SUMMARY:The Applied Linguistics faculty invites you to an information session about a major\, minor or TESL certificate in our department
DESCRIPTION:NCGE Oregon Alliance Presents:  \nApplied Linguistics is the study of language to address real-world problems. As a broad field that touches many aspects of human interaction\, applied linguistics includes subjects such as how language works in the brain\, interactions between language and culture\, and teaching English as a second language (TESL). The field has many close ties to social sciences\, foreign language studies\, and English language arts. As a result\, students often major in Applied Linguistics with a minor in one of those related areas or vice versa. \nThursday\, July 9th\, 2020\n1-2 pm \nThis is a virtual information session\, please RSVP to linginfo@pdx.edu to receive the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Applying Geographic Thinking Skills with Your Learners
DESCRIPTION:When confronted with any issue\, geographers ask three important questions: \n\nWhere is it?\nWhy is it there?\nWhy do we care?\n\nGeographic thinking can be applied with learners at any age\, in any situation. Geographers view every issue through multiple perspectives and at multiple scales to gain a full understanding. This short\, introductory course provides background for all formal and informal educators interested in bringing geographic thinking to their instruction. \nThis course is entirely self-paced and should take no more than 90 minutes to complete.

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: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: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: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: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.
