Virtual field trips in physical geography transcend our human limitations regarding distance and accessibility, allowing students to experience exemplars of environments. These experiences can be critical for connect the world beyond traditional classroom formats communicating themes features geography. To maximize learning potential these experiences, designers must engage a translational process take resources content from migrate it an online, virtual format. However, need account how...
Addressing educational curricula and programs in post-secondary education for Reconciliation brings new opportunities challenges geography educators, including decolonizing indigenizing their own teaching practices perspectives. A team of from vastly different geographies contexts, explored understandings approaches to indigenization found commonalities aligned with Two-Eyed Seeing, a framework that calls weaving perspectives hold views both Indigenous Western knowledge simultaneously. While...
Virtual learning environments (VLEs) in physical geography education offer significant potential to aid students acquiring the essential skills for environmental interpretation of glacial and periglacial geoscience careers. Simulated real-world field experiences aim help student evaluate landscapes natural hazards, assess their intensity, translate communicate this information various stakeholders human systems. The TREE-PG framework VRUI model provide a philosophical practical foundation...
A novel method to create a physicalization of Digital Earth resulted new type analogue and tactile geographic information system (GIS). The model was tested by students in Australia, who shared insights into how the supported their learning about concept "overlay" while providing an interesting engaging platform. Observations suggest promoted collaborative learning, provided bridge between paper maps digital GIS. This study offers insight preferences school children for models geography...
The main purpose of this design-based research study is to examine the effects an inquiry-based learning environment, with support videoconferencing, on both rural and urban secondary students’ mathematics science learning. An important aspect environment use videoconferencing connect classes mathematicians/ scientists (as e-mentors). Specifically, following two questions guide study: (1) In what ways, if any, does impact student beliefs outcomes? (2) What challenges emerge in development...

The changing climate and increasingly unpredictable sea ice conditions have created life-threatening risks for Inuit, the residents of Arctic, who depend on transportation livelihood. In response, they are turning to technology (e.g., RADAR imagery from Canadian RADARSAT satellite) augment their traditional knowledge map potential hazards. difficulty lies in actual interpretation process. order support understanding image content, we introduce a work-in-progress (WIP), INTUIT,...
