Join me for my annual GIS Day Live Webcast, where I will celebrate, discuss, and illustrate what people around the world are doing with Geographic Information Systems.  This webcast will include geo-songs, geo-quizzes, the definition of and impact of GIS to build a better world, and much more.  Yes, it will be recorded and published for those who wish to dig deeper into the links I share, or who are not able to join me in the live webcast. 

Important:  This will be held the day before the official GIS Day, in part so that you all can host your own events or attend someone else’s event on GIS Day.   I am also conducting my live webcast on this particular day because I will be spending the rest of the week with the wonderful faculty and students at Texas Tech University.

The live webcast will take place on Tuesday 19 November 2024, at 6:00 pm (1800) USA Eastern Time, 4:00pm (1600) USA Mountain Time, and 3:00pm (1500) USA Pacific Time. 

See this video I made in the field to get a sense of what the webcast will be about:

About the Author
I believe that spatial thinking can transform education and society through the application of Geographic Information Systems for instruction, research, administration, and policy. I hold 3 degrees in Geography, have served at NOAA, the US Census Bureau, and USGS as a cartographer and geographer, and teach a variety of F2F (Face to Face) (including T3G) and online courses. I have authored a variety of books and textbooks about the environment, STEM, GIS, and education. These include "Interpreting Our World", "Essentials of the Environment", "Tribal GIS", "The GIS Guide to Public Domain Data", "International Perspectives on Teaching and Learning with GIS In Secondary Education", "Spatial Mathematics" and others. I write for 2 blogs, 2 monthly podcasts, and a variety of journals, and have created over 6,500 videos on my Our Earth YouTube channel. Yet, as time passes, the more I realize my own limitations and that this is a lifelong learning endeavor: Thus I actively seek mentors and collaborators.
