MrHistory123 Sep 6 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Google Earth on a SmartBoard has REVOLUTIONIZED my classroom. Once they see their home on Google Earth, they're hooked. #worldgeochat

geteach Sep 6 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1 Explain maps are incomplete at best. A critical thinker takes in as much info as possible, but understands the limitations. #worldgeochat

SamMandeville Sep 6 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: It was a bit shocking to me last yr that SS didn't know hemispheres. Physically creating hemispheres with lats and longs #worldgeochat

LFU_MissCox Sep 6 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@CHuckeba @ecasey77 - currently working w/ computer & engineering Ts, but I want to expand! #worldgeochat

A1: First thing I teach them is to pet the key, <3 the key, the key is our friend for it unlocks the secrets of the map #worldgeochat

cheffernan75 - Moderator Sep 6 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1 Skills - what types of maps exist, how to make inferences from maps, SCALE. #worldgeochat

caranowou Sep 6 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1 Ss often need to start w/ foundation knowledge(i.e. key, symbols...). Ss beyond that, critical analysis to make connections #worldgeochat

GeoPenny Sep 6 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1 map analysis/reading...parts of a map and types of maps.... map perspective and orientation/ using coordinates & PRACTICE!! #worldgeochat

GeoJo22 Sep 6 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1 Skills so important! Will be embedding them more this year as I transition over to the workshop model for 7th wrld history. #worldgeochat

Parts of maps showing lots of Exs absolute loc Ive used Pete’s Grid activity Ive done kinesthetic battleship game,& used games #worldgeochat

A1: developing skills so they can create mental maps is something I'm working on this yr! #worldgeochat

ecasey77 - Moderator Sep 6 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@mjpanzer57 Awesome! #worldgeochat

@LFU_MissCox Do you have a google doc that you could share? #worldgeochat

MsTurner1027 Sep 6 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: teach spatial awareness of the maps and look at different types of maps. Also have Ss create a map of classroom to hook #worldgeochat

TheSSFrees Sep 6 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1 Long n Lat I got away from stressing application and focus on concept and orientation. #worldgeochat My go to: https://t.co/PaGXVhWblX

Jim_dEntremont Sep 6 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: Ss need to get oriented to the map. What part of the world? What is its focus? #worldgeochat

geokylo Sep 6 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1 Maps are for the weak. I believe you must experience the universe rather than look at it on paper. #worldgeochat

CHuckeba Sep 6 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@MrHistory123 Plus it is so great to let them zoom and move to gain good global perspectives! #worldgeochat

A2: tying the maps to specific themes, but most often I find that using current events really brings mapping home #worldgeochat

GeoJo22 Sep 6 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2 Give the map a purpose beyond memorization. Maybe they choose a theme they are interested in. S choice. #worldgeochat

A2 Stress that all maps spring from the imagination of their makers. Point out that before 20th cen no way to see from above. #worldgeochat

A2 Use maps as a tool to foster spatial question or as a component to help organize/analyze spatial distributions. #worldgeochat

Jim_dEntremont Sep 6 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@GeoSpiegs Exactly like that. #worldgeochat

MsTurner1027 Sep 6 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2: make lessons relevant. Have students track migration patterns and analyze why they would move. #gis is good & has lessons #worldgeochat
