NAAEE: Bringing New Ideas and Innovation to the Field of EE

Isn’t that Spatial? Teaching about the Environment, Examining Field Data, and Telling Your Environmental Story with Web Mapping Technology

December 6th at 3:00pm - 4:00pm ET

Join geographer and educator Dr. Joseph Kerski as he explores why and how to teach Environmental Education with today’s web mapping technologies. These technologies, such as ArcGIS Online, allow your students to collect data in citizen science mode via probes, smartphones, and GPS receivers in the field, allow you and your students to map and analyze the patterns from your field-collected data, and analyze land use change, coastal erosion, and other environmental issues from local community greenways to world ecoregion, and everything in between.

Map data collected in the field in an instant. Integrate video, text, and photograph to communicate the results of your investigations via “story maps.” The maps you create and use reside on the web, so no software is required beyond a web browser, and the maps can be easily changed and shared. The skills gained from these map-driven investigations include critical and spatial thinking, working with real data, inquiry, career and technology education, and are aligned with environmental education content standards.
