SUMMARY:Using Primary Sources to Examine Impacts on the Environment
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nLooking for middle school resources to explore hot-topic issues? Want to incorporate primary sources and practice real-world data analysis? Join Barbara Huth from Population Education in this interactive webinar that jumps into analyzing current and historic sources to make sense of how people are changing the world. Start with climate change: examining a variety of different types of data for themes\, commonalities\, and connections. Then jump into the issue of fracking and practice uncovering bias in sources. Finish with a historic case study of a US air quality disaster\, and use historic images to recreate the story. Receive standards-aligned lessons\, digital adaptations\, and access to a library of classroom resources from Population Education. \nPresenter\nBarbara Huth is the Online Learning Manager for Population Education\, a national non-profit program that supports teachers in covering population and related environmental and social topics in the classroom. Barbara brings extensive classroom experience\, having spent 10 years as a teacher. She is a National Board Certified teacher\, taught Earth Science\, AP Environmental Science\, and IB Environmental Systems & Societies. Prior to joining the PopEd team\, she spent over five years providing professional development on topics around digital learning\, social-emotional learning and digital citizenship for Common Sense Education. Barbara oversees PopEd’s online graduate level course\, coordinates the program’s annual World of 8 Billion student video contest\, and supports online workshop facilitation. \nWebinar Access\n#open Access | Join Here

SUMMARY:ArcGIS Map Viewer Create or Modify Maps
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nAre you creating storymaps? Engaging students in the Esri-NCGE student storymap competition? Then this webinar is for you!  Part of a 3-part series by Esri designed to support educators who are looking to engage their students in the world of geography.  In this webinar\, Tom Baker and Charlie Fitzpatrick will discuss the map viewer as the cornerstone for visualizing map-based data. In this webinar\, we will cover the basics of creating maps using data from ArcGIS Online or collected by students. \nPresenters\nTom Baker is an education manager on the Esri Education Solutions team\, strategizing effective use of GIS technology and solutions to solve instruction\, administrative\, and research challenges in schools\, universities\, and informal education. An instructional technologist and researcher by training\, he now specializes in integrating classroom practice and technology with GIS. Most of Tom’s time at Esri is spent serving the nearly 5 million K12 educators of the United States—and their 50 million students. Tom seeks to use his experience to enhance learning at all levels and subjects by leveraging the science of where. \nCharlie Fitzpatrick is K12 Education manager at Esri. After being a formal student for many years\, he taught social studies in grades 7-12 (mostly 8th grade geography) for 15 years. He also started teaching teachers to understand the patterns\, relationships\, and systems of the world using computers. He joined Esri as education manager in 1992\, where he works with students\, educators\, and influencers across the nation. He and his colleagues work to provide software\, instructional resources\, and educator support free to every school and club\, so learners of all ages can explore and understand the world\, analyze information\, make good decisions\, and solve problems by thinking geographically using GIS. \nWebinar Access \n#open access | Join Here \n  \n

SUMMARY:Project Based Learning in the World Geography Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nThe goal of this session is to spark inspiration\, exchange\, and even debate amongst geography educators at all levels about the merits of a project-based approach to teaching world geography. \nPresenter\n \nTiffany Grobelski\, Assistant Professor\nDepartment of Environment\, Geography\, and Earth Sciences (EGE)\nPeace\, Justice and Conflict Studies (PJCS)\nGustavus Adolphus College\nSaint Peter\, Minnesota \nThe goal of this session is to spark inspiration\, exchange\, and even debate amongst geography educators at all levels about the merits of a project-based approach to teaching world geography. I will share the lessons my colleagues and I have learned since overhauling our introductory undergraduate World Geography course five years ago. We redesigned the course from a textbook-based survey of world regions to a project-based class centered around two student projects: one tracing global commodities and another eliciting international migrants’ experiences. I talk through the best practices I have developed in my classroom (both in-person and virtual)\, summarize student survey responses about the course design\, and showcase some student work. I make the case that despite the challenges and possible drawbacks\, project-based approaches to world geography are worthwhile. \nWebinar Access\n#member only | Join Here

SUMMARY:From Population to Migration: Discover Geography Classroom Resources with the U.S. Census Bureau
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nDid you know that the U.S. Census Bureau has resources you can use in your classroom? Explore activities using real-life data from the Statistics in Schools program\, covering topics such as demographic characteristics\, population pyramids\, environmental changes\, population\, and more. Join in on a conversation with a Census Bureau geography staff member and learn about resources available on topics such as migration and urbanization with demonstrations on how to use the tools. \nPresenters\nJessica Palmer\, Program Analyst\, Statistics in Schools Program \nJessica Palmer works on the Statistics in Schools (SIS) program at the U.S. Census Bureau and has nearly 14 years of federal government experience. She joined the program in 2012 and has contributed to the initiative to make SIS resources available to educators on an ongoing basis.
