Title

Iron Bison Lightning Mapping Contest

Presenter Information

Janine Glathar

Description

We'll divide attendees into groups of up to 4 people. Each team will have a workstation with a large monitor and a GoogleEarth file with historical, modern & projected/predictive datasets [for the Susquehanna Valley Region? for the U.S.?].

You'll have one hour to collaborate with your teammates on developing a short, hands-on GoogleEarth exercise that uses a mash-up of the datasets to engage students in place-based thinking, spatial analysis and representation.

We'll have each group do a 2 minute presentation of their exercise... followed by a ballot to vote for winners in different categories... and then wrap everything up with a presentation of the IronBison awards.
