SUMMARY:Reading the Ocean: Mapping\, Memory and Power in Samoa
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nOften relegated to the last few days of the school year\, Oceania and the Pacific Islands rarely get much time or focus in geography classrooms. This presentation will focus on how educators can infuse their lessons on mapping\, spatial thinking\, and geospatial technology with indigenous mapping practices to highlight differing approaches to representing geographic features and developing mental maps of the world – whether that world is land or sea. Teachers will receive lessons and materials for use in AP Human Geography\, as well as PreAP and on-level geography courses. \nSession Focus\nSecondary/High School | Human and Cultural Geography | Spatial thinking and Geospatial Technology \nConference Room\nLacy \nMeet the Presenter\nDr. Michelle Crane has recently completed her PhD in Geography Education through Texas State University. She teaches Geography\, PreAP Geography and History\, and Sociology at Texas High School in Texarkana\, Texas. She also teaches Geography 1303 World Regional Geography at Texas A&M Texarkana. She is an avid traveler and frequently uses her travel experiences to enliven her classes and help engage her students in learning about the world.
