Book Synopsis Exploring Physical Geography by : Robert V. Rohli, Professor
Download or read book Exploring Physical Geography written by Robert V. Rohli, Professor and published by McGraw-Hill Education. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Reynolds, author of the highly successful Exploring Geology, brings his ground-breaking, visually spectacular approach to Exploring Physical Geography. Intended for an introductory geography course, such as Physical Geography, Reynolds Exploring Physical Geography promotes inquiry and science as an active process. It encourages student curiosity and aims to activate existing student knowledge by posing the title of every two-page spread and every subsection as a question. In addition, questions are dispersed throughout the book. Integrated into the book are opportunities for students to observe patterns, features, and examples before the underlying concepts are explained. That is, we employ a learning-cycle approach where student exploration precedes the introduction of geographic terms and the application of knowledge to a new situation. Exploring Physical Geography introduces terms after students have an opportunity to observe the feature or concept that is being named. This approach is consistent with several educational philosophies, including a learning cycle and just-in-time teaching. Research on learning cycles shows that students are more likely to retain a term if they already have a mental image of the thing being named (Lawson, 2003). Also, the figure-based approach in this book allows terms to be introduced in their context rather than as a definition that is detached from a visual representation of the term. We introduce new terms in italics rather than in boldface, because boldfaced terms on a textbook page cause students to immediately focus mostly on the terms, rather than build an understanding of the concepts. Featuring more than 2,500 photographs and illustration, Exploring Physical Geography engages students with strong visuals, unique two-page spreads, and Before You Leave This Page objectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As political, economic, and environmental issues increasingly spread across the globe, the science of geography is being rediscovered by scientists, policymakers, and educators alike. Geography has been made a core subject in U.S. schools, and scientists from a variety of disciplines are using analytical tools originally developed by geographers. Rediscovering Geography presents a broad overview of geography's renewed importance in a changing world. Through discussions and highlighted case studies, this book illustrates geography's impact on international trade, environmental change, population growth, information infrastructure, the condition of cities, the spread of AIDS, and much more. The committee examines some of the more significant tools for data collection, storage, analysis, and display, with examples of major contributions made by geographers. Rediscovering Geography provides a blueprint for the future of the discipline, recommending how to strengthen its intellectual and institutional foundation and meet the demand for geographic expertise among professionals and the public.

Download or read book Geography Education in the Digital World written by Nicola Walshe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-07 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geography Education in the Digital World draws on theory and practice to provide a critical exploration of the role and practice of geography education within the digital world. It considers how living within a digital world influences teacher identity and professionalism and is changing young people’s lives. The book moves beyond the applied perspective of educational technology to engage with wider social and ethical issues of technology implementation and use of digital data within geography education. Situated at the intersection between research and practice, chapters draw on a wide range of theory to consider the role, adoption and potential challenges of a range of digital technologies in furthering geographical education for future generations. Bringing together academics from the fields of geography, geography education and teacher education, the book engages with four key themes within the digital world: Professional practice and personal identities. Geographical sources and connections. Geospatial technologies. Geographical fieldwork. This is a crucial read for geographers, geography educators and geography teacher educators, as well as those engaging with existing and new technologies to support geographical learning in the dynamic context of the digital world. It will also be of interest to any students, academics and policymakers wanting to better understand the impact of digital media on education.

Book Synopsis Spatial Connections by : Jill Stackhouse
Download or read book Spatial Connections written by Jill Stackhouse and published by Cognella Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-10 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial Connections: World Regional Geography introduces the study of geography by offering a snapshot of the world's landscapes through a series of articles. The material in this anthology meets several primary objectives. The text provides an introduction to the concept of spatial interconnection, helps students assess complicated relationships across the globe, and illustrates the landscapes on which issues and events play out. It also helps students match concepts discussed in class to recent events and discover their place in an interconnected and dynamic world. The second edition features new readings that focus on diverse subjects such as freshwater systems in Africa, tourism and barriers to economic growth in Cuba, and more. Spatial Connections offers an alternative approach to introductory geography courses by focusing on relationships -- those that currently exist, the changes that are taking place in them, the connections that are disappearing, and new connections that are being forged. Jill Stackhouse is an instructor in the Department of Geography at Bemidji State University in Bemidji, Minnesota. Dr. Stackhouse has been teaching a variety of subjects across the discipline for more than 12 years, including geographic information systems and cartography, world regional geography, weather and climate, and courses in urban, economic, political, and Latin American geography. She earned her Ph.D. in geography from Syracuse University in 2007, her M.A. in geography at Georgia State University in 2001, and holds two bachelor of science degrees in geography and business administration from Middle Tennessee State University (1997) and Oregon State University (1979) respectively.
