Aaron Doering, assistant professor of curriculum and instruction, received a $150,000 grant from the National Geographic Society for his project Learning Geography through Geospatial Technologies. Through this project, an online course will be developed on ways pre- and in-service K-16 teachers can effectively teach geography using a range of geospatial technologies. Although the course will be completely online, it will also be designed to be delivered in a hybrid (online and face-to-face) environment as well. Doering also received a $145,000 grant from the Best Buy Children’s Foundation for his adventure learning project, GoNorth! This grant supports the current phase of this program, GoNorth! Chukotka 2007, an adventure learning program focused on the region of Chukotka, Russia.
