This particular neogeography offers considerable potential for incorporation into student assignments in many disciplines.
Google Earth Meets Higher Ed: Reflections On Neogeography, Cathy Moulder
Google Earth Meets Higher Ed: Reflections On Neogeography, Cathy Moulder
Cathy Moulder
Educators in many disciplines are embracing the wonders of Google Earth to engage their students. This session explains the context of change in education (Web 2.0 and the NetGen students) and how these two trends merge in a new area called Neogeography. The session presents preliminary findings of a research project to identify the early adoption of one Neogeography (Google Earth). Results show a developing use of Google Earth in course assignments at the college and university level, with several resources identified that will become available in summer 2008.
