Journal of Geography, CfP Using Geospatial Data in Geographic Education

[Ari Jolma]

Dear edu.osgeo,

I don't know how many of you are on the UCGIS list, are resending these a waste of time & bandwidth?

I'm interested in this topic but haven't done much myself. Still, there might be room for paper which looks at the new FOSS4G tools from this perspective. Anybody geography-oriented interested enough to take the lead?

Using Geospatial Data in Geographic Education

July 2007


Geospatial data include imagery obtained through aerial or satellite 
remote sensing, datasets formatted for use in geographic information 
systems (GIS), and/or data obtained (e.g., in the field) using the global 
positioning system (GPS).  In recent years, such data have become 
increasingly available, often at little or no cost.  Moreover, persons who 
wish to use geospatial data in teaching now have many tools at their 
disposal including on-line viewers, free or low-cost software, web 
applications such as Internet Map Services (IMS) and sites such as Google 
Earth. This special issue of The Journal of Geography will focus on new 
and innovative approaches to using geospatial data in teaching geography.  
Manuscripts may focus on aspects of teaching geography at any level. 
Please note that the emphasis of this issue is not on teaching remote 
sensing or GIS, but on using such data and technologies to provide 
instruction in the principles of geography.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed in accordance with established 
policies of The Journal of Geography. Details for preparing manuscripts 
are outlined in The Journal of Geography Guide for  Authors  - 
http://www.ncge.org/publications/journal/  However, instead of five paper 
copies, it is preferred that manuscripts for this special issue be 
submitted in PDF format (including both text and illustrations) 
electronically, via email, to the guest editor.  All manuscripts submitted 
for consideration must be received by November 30, 2006.
