Interested in GIS and geography education? This session is about helping teachers learn how to engage students in collecting spatial information using GPS while learning about climate and weather—specifically clouds. This session is the culmination of a series of activities developed by CEOAS’ Ryan Brown and NASA for teachers to engage students in science-based learning with geospatial technologies. This session can also be attended virtually by registering! |
