    Risked and shared. It's the sharing that is so important. It's how we drew maps and learned about the world. #worldgeochat

  • flipping_A_tchr Mar 7 @ 9:16 PM EST
    I observe the same confusion of the concept. "School is where you go to be told you're correct." #worldgeochat
    In reply to @JohnHonish
  • 6thgradersrule Mar 7 @ 9:16 PM EST
    #worldgeochat a1 define "explorer". A person who goes and experiences their surroundings. It can be down the street or across the world.
  • SamMandeville Mar 7 @ 9:16 PM EST
    Most agreed. Exploration is somewhat trial and error as well as creating hypotheses #worldgeochat
