A one-stop 21st Century geography resource now available

A resource to support 21st Century geographical thinking and
approaches
As you know this Google Group does not normally dabble in advertising
any products. However because of the role of the Australian Geography
Teachers Association (AGTA) as a non-profit organisation in promoting
geographical education in Australia I have made this one exception.
Hope you don’t mind.
AGTA has recently released a DVD titled ‘Exploring 21st Century
Geography’. The DVD was produced for the AGTA 2011 conference in
Adelaide in January 2011 and is now available for purchase on-line on
the AGTA site at http://www.agta.asn.au/products/index.htm . The DVD
costs only A$95 (including GST and postage for Australian purchasers)
and A$105 (including postage to anywhere in the world) for overseas
purchases. The DVD comes with an unlimited site license and copying
rights for an educational institution.
The DVD has been developed to support educators and schools to explore
21st Century geography. Such exploration involves considering ICT use
in geography, spatial technology integration and capacities,
discussions on the nature of the 21st Century learner, classroom,
pedagogy and curriculum for geography and access to resources and
approaches available for the teaching of a 21st Century geography. To
these ends the DVD contains:
* three books and interactive CD’s on the use of GIS in geography (GIS
skills development processes, GIS in Historical geography and GIS in
physical geography)
* an interactive CD on the use of technology in geography
* articles on 21st Century geography pedagogy and curriculum
* Internet links to hundreds of resource and teaching sites to support
21st Century geography
* a 21st Century audit tool
* Internet links to geography curriculums around the world
* student project samples and processes.
AGTA is proud to launch this product to support the teaching of a
quality and engaging geography in our schools. Most importantly it is
hoped that the resource supports schools as they grapple with the
demands and directions of the geographical thinking and ICT capacities
stimulated by the development of a 21st Century Australian Curriculum
for geography.
