Guiding Questions
How does your Learning Activity plan utilize GIS and inquiry-based learning?
Do barriers to utilizing GIS in the classroom remain?
What will you take away from this course?
Introduction
You have arrived at the final unit of the course! Over the past three units, participants have engaged in a variety of learning activities which have shown the benefits of utilizing GIS in the secondary classroom across disciplines. In this final unit, participants will complete a Course Reflection activity, post their final Learning Activity plan for review, and complete a post-course survey. Participants will be assessed based on their Course Reflection and final Learning Activity plan. *Note: Participants will need a Google Account to access some course materials and forms.
Activity 1
Course Reflection. Participants should review all of their reflection and discussion writings from the prior units and reflect on what was meaningful to them in this course as well as key takeaways they will use going forward. Participants should review the activity-specific prompts posted on the Course Google Doc under Unit #4: Activity 1 before posting.
Activity 2
Final Learning Activity plan. Based on everything they have learned in this course; prior knowledge; their instructional practice, and instructor feedback, participants are to submit their final learning activity plan to the Course Google Doc under Unit #4: Activity 2 for review.
Activity 3
Post-course survey. Participants are not required to complete this activity, but any feedback about this course would be appreciated. You may access the survey here: Post-Course Survey.
