This presentation reviews a series of interdisciplinary exercises in which students sequence or “map” genetic mutations of the COVID virus to understand how variants evolve. They then use this information to track the global path of COVID variants on digital maps to identify how genetic and geographical information are used by scientists to create public […]
A pressing topic concerns the uncertain future of geography education. Numerous articles and at least one symposium have sought to outline ideal pathways. These efforts produced useful suggestions from tenured and emeritus professors, along with senior members of the geography education community. Strikingly absent from the discourse are perspectives of early-career geographers, the ones tasked […]

In this session, you will engage in the anchor lesson using “learner hat”. From a student’s […]
Using GIS and doing fieldwork in my classroom always felt like it was just out of reach. It was intimidating and overwhelming. This activity attempts to break past that and give teachers a model to follow where students map and analyze geospatial data to solve a problem by answering the question: where is the nearest […]
In this, free open to everyone, review session, Lisa Benton-Short, the Chief Reader, provides a detailed review of the task verbs that appear in the exam questions.

As geography teachers, we are aware that we: 1) Need to continually advocate with teachers of other disciplines on how geography is essential and can overlap with different concepts they teach. 2) That geography is a solid platform to show real-world applications of math and science. 3) Geography also provides the opportunity for communicating through […]
