About a thirty day period in the past, a coworker invited me to show up at an approaching geography convention with the Arizona Geographic Alliance (AzGA). He told me it charge $25.00 and this is refunded to me if I truly attend. Plus, they provide lunch. My only respond to to that invitation was “Of class!” I went and I am so glad that I did!

In addition to a slew of totally free sources on their web-site, like geography workbooks and backlinks to cost-free online textbooks, they gave absent goody bags with Countrywide Geographic maps and many absolutely free textbooks at the conference. I was ready to safe some Geometry and Science Texts that I imagine will entertain fairly a number of of my pupils.

Now, let us get to the conference. Honestly, I did not have higher anticipations. I was imagining “how much extra can I study about geography further than what I currently know?” I was pleasantly corrected. I attended a few classes. The initial a single gave new spins on city and tradition exploration with the generation of brochures. The next a single was a palms on presentation that made use of geography to examine the Holocaust. The way that we employed timelines to observe techniques and geography was life transforming. If fascinated, lecturers were also ready to protected cost-free Holocaust assets.  The third presentation was a demonstration of the outcomes of urbanization on geography. This is primarily suitable to Arizona as we experience accelerated populace expansion. And lastly, I was able to timetable a school dependent Expert Progress for my elementary and center college groups. In November, we will receive education on how to train geography with the use of big maps. All of this (and lunch) was no cost!
