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\u2019 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.<\/p>\n<h4>Webinar Access<\/h4>\n<p>#member only | <a href=\"https:\/\/ncge.app.neoncrm.com\/login?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fncge.app.neoncrm.com%2Fnp%2Fpublicaccess%2FneonPage.do%3FpageId%3D26%26\">Join Here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary The 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 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":15413,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","_tribe_events_is_hybrid":"","_tribe_events_is_virtual":"","_tribe_events_virtual_video_source":"","_tribe_events_virtual_embed_video":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button_text":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_at":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_to":[],"_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_event":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_views":"","_tribe_events_virtual_url":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"tags":[77,45],"tribe_events_cat":[16],"class_list":["post-15411","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-member","tag-webinar","tribe_events_cat-webinars","cat_webinars"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/15411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/15411\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15414,"href":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/15411\/revisions\/15414"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15411"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=15411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
