Review Publication on Geospatial Practices and Lesson Learned
CHAIR: Osvaldo Muñiz Solari - Texas State University
Panelists:
Ali Demirci - Fatih University, Istanbul, Turkey
Injeong Jo - Texas State University
Joseph Kerski - Esri
Joop van der Schee - Utrecht University
The objective of this panel session is to analyze the result of an international experience related to Geospatial Technologies (GST) in geography education conducted by members of the IGU Commission on Geographical Education. The result is the book: "Geospatial Technologies and Geography Education in a Changing World" that was published by Springer in August 2015.
This publication informs to an international audience of teachers, professionals, scholars, and policymakers about the state of the arts and prospects on geospatial practices and lessons learned in relation to geography education.
The panel will gather editors and some authors to present their experiences and final remarks of this important contribution not only to geography educators but also to geographers in general. The panelists will engage in a special conversation about opportunities and challenges as well as strategies for the 21st century.
The central theme of this panel is the agenda of GST in geography education for the future. A final remark will be made on international collaboration and jobs and careers related to geospatial technologies.?
