Greetings Everyone:

For those of you attending the upcoming AAG annual meeting, I thought this panel session might be of interest:

Geospatial Technologies and Geography Education in a Changing World
Wednesday, 3/30/2016
Yosemite A, Hilton Hotel, Ballroom Level  10-1140am

If you're not able to be there, perhaps you might be interested in the book that we will be discussing, of the same title:

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.?
