The Open-Source Geography Content has outgrown iand splintered its niche from 30 Second Words Podcast Productions. Previously published content, see below, will remain on the site, but all new Geography material will be published on Open Source Geography. We are not affiliated with OpenSource GIS or OpenSource Matters, but we do come at education from an open-source mindset.
The idea is to develop a Joomla based content management system for managing student work and publishing thier assigned articles. This come with the idea that a student’s work should have value beyond the classroom. Thus, they should provide quality content both in structure and holistically. Even though student identities are fully cloaked, they are encouraged to interact and critique each other’s content. Stories submitted will be published openly. In a way, this is a method for developing a student written, and teacher editted, crowdsourced Geography textbook written.
As a pre-announcement, lookout for a partnership with 30 Second Words Podcast Productions to prepare a series of short podcasts about geography called 30 Second Geography. In the meantime, in case you missed them, the following are all stories tagged with Open Source Geography from 30 Second Words:
