Stage 4/5 teachers
Facilitated by Field of Mars Environmental Education Centre
Geography Action will help participants develop an understanding of the geography inquiry process and how it applies to the development of sustainability focused and technology rich teaching and learning sequences that can result in positive action for the planet. Participants will examine and unpack Mobile Connections, a Stage 4 teaching and learning program developed to support the Interconnections strand in the Geography 7-10 Syllabus.
This course will provide attendees with an understanding of the 5 step sustainability action process that was used to embed the sustainability cross curriculum priority into Mobile Connections.
Participants will be introduced to the SAMR model of technology integration, and how this can be used to guide the meaningful use of technology in Geography. Participants will explore the use of apps and mobile devices to support the communication phase of the geography inquiry process.
