I am excited about the same prospect of teaching the history of the English language or context info on classic and ancient literature with the help of maps! I think there are tremendously valuable opportunities with this that we should capitalize o…
I have never been, but I used to work at REI, an outdoors outfitting store, and we had people coming in all the time wanting information about it and about GPS units because they wanted to get involved with it. Several of my coworkers were pretty in…
I think the major issue with geography is a disconnect between a place as its shape (or a puzzle piece) on a map and the place as a place...with landscape and bodies of water, with natural scenery and wildlife, with cities, and cars, and people. Esp…
I thought that the article was a well made case for bringing geography back and applying its multiple opportunities in the classroom as well as for people's personal interests, or even for a marketing presentation. I have to say, I had not considere…

I found that the 21st Century Learning included a lot of points that are really important to consider. 21st Century Learning isn't all about the technology, knowing how to use it-though that is a great part of it- it is about integrating that techno…
When we received this task I was partially dreading it because I know how terrible I am at this sort of thing. I've never been an engineering or innovative type. I'm more of a left-brained kinda gal. Give me a structure and I can analyze it, but ask…
We will be discussing issues relating to 21st Century Skills and technologies as they relate to teaching and learning.
