Geoinquiries  101


This workshop is part of the 2017 Summer Spatial Institute



​Come learn how to quickly incorporate GIS and spatial thinking into your curriculum using short lessons and the geoinquiry process.  No experience necessary!

Date and location:
August 1, 2017, 8:30am to 4:30pm
Hopkinton Middle High School, Contoocook, NH​
​
Summary:
GeoInquiries are short, standards-based inquiry activities for teaching map-based concepts found in commonly used textbooks. Using an inquiry instructional model, GeoInquiries integrate ArcGIS Online technology to support subject matter content teaching. Lessons include learning objectives, technical “how-to’s”, textbook references, and formative whole-class assessment items – all packed into one page. These activities are technology agnostic and can be delivered in a classroom with as little as a tablet and a projector. Any teacher can use a GeoInquiry, regardless of their prior experience with digital mapping tools. No experience necessary!

In this workshop, we will cover:
  • geoinquiry process
  • using geoinquiries in your classroom
  • creating geoinquiries
  • going beyond the geoinquiry
