Teaching with Geospatial Technology: Tools for Inquiry-Based Instruction in Science and Social Science, Grades 6-12 01/08/2018 8:00 am - 3:30 pm 8:00 - 8:30: Registration and Continental Breakfast
As the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and California History- Social Science Frameworks are implemented, naturalistic inquiry, literacy and skills development, and capacity to take informed action are being emphasized. Geospatial technology engages students in developing the literacy and competency required for college and career readiness of the next generation.
In this one-day workshop, middle- or high-school teachers will learn how geographic knowledge, skills and reasoning can be enhanced through inquiry-based instruction by using web-based geographic information system (GIS).
There are no prerequisites for this workshop. A $200 stipend will be paid for your attendance. The participants of this workshop are suggested to attend a 2-hour monthly online meeting every month from February to May for ongoing skill development and support for the use of geospatial technology in the classroom.
