The Gender & Geography Bibliography Hackathon will take place November 15-21, 2015, as part of Geography Awareness Week. Work with a worldwide team of faculty, students, staff and citizens anytime and anywhere during that week to add to and edit the online database of feminist geographic sources now containing more than 3,000 citations.
Welcome to my GIS 295 Students, who are starting on a new adventure in web-based mapping, tools and technology!
The next 12 weeks will be part learning experience, part experiment, and part skill development; all toward the goal of making us better geographers and better communicators. I say “us” because my role as your instructor this semester is more facilitator than traditional teacher, and I plan to learn from you as well.
At some point during class tonight, I’m going to ask you to think about what your goals are for the class. Think about it. Write them down somewhere, and then come back here and post your top goal in the comments. We’ll look at them again towards the end of class and measure our success.
Let’s have fun with this and let’s learn new things!
