Making the connections...

 

Thinking geographically is in essence about making the connections between themes, across regions and at a variety of scales.

"Prezi:" Demographic Transition Model

From prezi.com - September 27, 2011 9:24 AM

Prezi in an online alternative to powerpoint for displaying notes and lecture materials (noted for it's ability to see the whole picture, zoom in and it's rotating animations).  Prezi is free for educators and the presentations you made can be kept private or made public.  This Prezi outlines the 4 stages of the Demographic Transition Model, with historical and spatial context.  Thanks for sharing Kari!

I could never "produce" all of this...thanks why I like to word "curate as used by the scoop.it site. In fact I've got my students collaborating with me on the "regional geography" page.

Prezi: an Alternative to Powerpoint

From prezi.com - December 7, 2011 11:46 AM

Shake things up by trying Prezi.  This one I use at the end of the semester for my Regional Geography course.  Geography and Prezi are both all about "making the connections..."
