SUMMARY:Audio Storytelling for Impact
DESCRIPTION:Oral storytelling traditions are as old as humans themselves. Our earliest ancestors were telling stories to entertain\, inform\, and pass down important knowledge. Today\, audio stories still serve that same purpose\, and with the help of accessible podcasting platforms\, a good story has the power to compel listeners around the world to action on pressing global issues. We live in the most connected age in human history\, and yet the worldview of our students can be so narrow. When students have the opportunity to produce their own audio stories that center their ways of knowing and being in the world\, they gain intellectual curiosity and confidence. That’s why it’s important that we help students learn to connect and engage with one another in a way that respects and promotes global competence about the worldview of the 7 billion other people that call this planet home. In this session\, we’ll explore the process of producing an audio story that compels an audience to action. \nBy the end of this session\, attendees will 1) identify the key elements of compelling audio storytelling\, 2) examine human-environment issues through a critical “glocal” lens\, and 3) become familiar with a free\, cloud-based audio production called Anchor. \nPedagogical content will focus on why it is important for students to create their own stories and the attitudes\, skills\, and knowledge that they gain in the process. In addition\, we will examine basic audio storytelling principles: developing compelling characters\, framing\, and signposting. \nSocial studies content will focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goals as a way to examine human-environment interactions and the interdependence of various global systems. \nAttendees will also gain some basic skills in how to construct audio stories using Anchor\, a free web-based podcasting platform. They will be provided with a full teacher guide for completing a student-led podcast from start to finish \nMore Info on how to Register and Join

SUMMARY:Exploring Sense of Place: Student-led Virtual and IRL Independent Studies
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we will discuss a culminating project for AP Human Geography students  which motivated students to answer essential questions of inquiry:\n-Why do we value some spaces more than others?\n-How do humans curate and show value in a space?\n-What are the implications of the human imprint?\n-What happens when we stop placing value on our spaces? \nThe investigation was an independent study in which students chose from eight different pathways of exploration surrounding the concept of sense of place. Employing Google tools we learned to use over the course of the school year\, students researched and presented their findings of sense of place\, paying special care to connect their observations to Yi-Fu Tuan\, the leading academic on the topic of geographical sense of place. Depending on the student’s choice of inquiry\, students were assigned an academic journal article written by Yi-Fu Tuan. After annotations\, students are encouraged to contemplate the philosophical thoughts of Yi-Fu Tuan during their investigation\, and ultimately choose one quote from the professor that best reflects their findings\, to include in their final project’s commentary. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Understanding COVID and Public Health Policy in the U.S. and Iceland Using Maps
DESCRIPTION: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 health policy.\n\nStudents then compare the response to COVID in both Iceland and the United States to recognize how scientific information and cultural norms intersect to create public policy and affect public health outcomes. The information in this lesson is enhanced by personal experiences and interviews from NCGE’s Geocamp Iceland.\n\nThis session is intended to be part of the NCGE Geocamp Iceland’s Session “Iceland Experiences”. However\, it can also be presented as a stand-alone session in which teachers go through the lessons as students themselves. \nMore Information on how to Register and Join

SUMMARY:CANCELLED-A Future of Geography Education Without Early-Career Scholars?
DESCRIPTION: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 with advancing geography’s future in education. In this research\, we contacted early-career scholars in geography education—non-tenured geography educators up to seven years out of their doctorates and faculty up to two years after gaining tenure. We challenged them to write an abstract describing what they believe the future of geography education ought to look like and what challenges lie ahead. The discussion that follows is a synthesis of those insights. \n  \nMore Information on how to Register and Join

SUMMARY:COVID-19 & Health Equity: How can we slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus to protect our communities
DESCRIPTION:Explore how the COVID-19 and Health Equity unit\, How can we slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus to protect our communities? supports geography\, social studies\, and science learning goals as well as the social emotional wellness of students. In this session\, you will engage in the anchor lesson using “learner hat”. From a student’s perspective\, you will explore how the COVID-19 virus has impacted different communities in the United States. You will analyze data on COVID-19 case counts\, COVID-19 deaths\, and census data to identify spatial and temporal patterns in the communities. From patterns in the data\, you will generate initial explanations about why these patterns exist\, and develop questions to further investigate the problem. You will then transition to “educator hat” to view the unit storyline\, the geography\, social studies\, and science learning goals at play in the unit\, and the social and emotional learning (SEL) supports integrated throughout the unit. \nMore Information on how to Register and Join \n

SUMMARY:Mapping Vending Machines: Bring GIS Into Your Classroom
DESCRIPTION: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 vending machine? We will use the geo-inquiry process from National Geographic and various tools from ESRI. \nMore information on how to Register and Join
