Lover of maps and all things visual, geospatial and cartographic. I help teachers to deliver excellence in 21st Century geography.

Start here for a list of useful online spatial tools and activity ideas for your students:

I'm going to start sharing ideas and activities that use spatial tech and can be done remotely to help teachers jazz up their online lessons. I'll add to this thread so follow along.

@googleearth Do you have a link for this post?

They're coming!

Geospatial Activity Packs are rolling out on our website now for Resources members. Log in online and go to the new Resources tab.

Exciting!

Colorful patterns are seen in Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, a 380,000-acre protected area in northeast Brazil. It contains miles of sand dunes, the valleys of which fill with freshwater lagoons during rainy season and are prevented from draining by impermeable rock beneath.

This treasure trove of Earth science data is available for public use, too! 🌐 In fact, YOU can even monitor Earth’s vital signs in real-time with our interactive data visualization, Eyes on the Earth: https://t.co/5Nt1AnU548 (7/8)

[Simon Kuestenmacher @simongerman600]

In Hobart I argued to 150 geography teachers that they are teaching a crucial subject. Geography is a systemic discipline. The big problems we face are al systemic in nature (climate change, housing affordability, even the skills shortage).

[Mick Law 🌏 @Contour_Ed]

@simongerman600 It was a great talk Simon, thanks for making time to share your insights with us.

This looks like a fantastic resource to help promote careers in geography

[Louise Swanson @LouiseSwanson]

Promote Geography related careers with AGTA’s new Geography careers website - “Go With Geo”.

Top story: @JessPendley: 'The unbreakable @adavidpglass has a Ko-fi gallery stuffed with fat stacks of awesome maps like the one below, free of charge.

Grab some for your games, hit that follow button, and throw him so… https://t.co/zwUZy5vlLe, see more https://t.co/qsSTWd54pk

It was great to present and MC the STEM panel at today's #gtaq22 conference on the Gold Coast.

Another great conference team, well done to all involved!

[Mick Law 🌏 @Contour_Ed]

Good to see @Esri taking the lead on this as most maps made in the world are either made on their software or Google's.

[Esri @Esri]

To the undiscerning eye, an unreliable map may look just like an authoritative one. That’s why ethics in mapmaking and #cartography is such an important conversation to be having right now. https://t.co/GBQXz8yOXC

@BobLangGeog @gtaqld @GTANSWACT @SusanCaldis @BundabergNow Hi Bob, just saw this.

I noticed during the game, it's a nice touch. Easy too as we only have four numbers!
