Seal Web Expert How-to Field Trips Public Projects Seal Web Spatial Learning Regional Science Interactive Technology
Expert Leadership • Orientation – invitation to public • Education – additional RF info • Evaluation – level of participation • Tools – corresponding to interest • Projects –available for production • Seal Cruise – field trip • Web Development – interfaces for caring
Field Trips • Visit Places • Listen to Experts • Observe with All Senses • Form Opinions • Have Fun • Get Out into Nature • Share with Friends, Family, Leaders • Take an Active Role
Field Trips-Part Two • Provide Exposure to Landscape • Place Theoretical into Reality • Give Overview of Seal and Turtle Lives • Encourage Individual Participation • Online Mapping Tools • Desktop Mapping Options • Take User Through Learning Process
Independent Learning • Review of Cruise Materials • Traditional Reading and Writing • Visual Investigation • Collaborative Participation • Use Mapping Tools to Report Observation • Use Mapping Tools to Explore Seal Habitat Interaction with Human Habitat • Seeing the Big Picture
Technology • Web Site • Help • Audio Techniques • Video Techniques • Software Packages • Templates for Understanding • References to Existing Works • Applications to Real Life
Big Science • Federal, State, Local Governments • Not-for-Profit Organizations • Professional Societies • Advocacy Groups • Businesses • Politicians • Citizens • Children
Student Collaboration • Volunteers Walk Beaches and Report Observations to Headquarters via Online Reporting Tools and Interactive Maps • Have the Opportunity to Use Various Interactive Maps to Explore Issues of Cohabitation • Learn Vocabulary of Earth Science, Biology, Cartography and Geography

Online Interactive Site • Go to maps.google.com • Add the seal cruise data points by using the Google Maps option to Search Maps • Just paste the following into their text window for Search Maps and press Search Maps: • http://globalscience.home.att.net/TRF/SealCruise.kml • These points show the Seal Cruise so … • Pan Around, Read Them. Zoom in! • Interact and Learn
Ocean – Human Interaction • Ocean Literacy Materials Pending
An effective means of geographical learning uses the interaction between two methods of examination: topical and regional. Topic: Seals Region: Long Island Spatial Learning TheoryGersmehl’s Scissors:Topical and Regional Analysis

Location – Where? • (x,y); Lat, Long; Address; Landmark; Roadway • Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Condition – What? • Campus, Park, Hospital, Roadways, … • Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Situation – How? • Connections: How is this place linked to others? • Primary land donation, urban growth, infrastructure, … • Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Comparison • How are places similar or different? • Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Aura – Influence • What effect(s) does a feature have on nearby areas? Waterfront vs. Blight, Park vs. Industry • Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Regionalization • What nearby places are similar to each other for grouping? By color? Street Density? • Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Regionalization • How about now? By Shadows, Grassland, Pixels ? • Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Hierarchy • Where does this place fit into structure of nested areas? State, City, Borough, Community, Campus, Building • Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Transition • Is the change between places abrupt, or gradual? Cross-section, profile, Graph-able? • Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Pattern(s)? • Are there imbalances, clusters or other arrangements? • Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Pattern(s)? • Are there imbalances, clusters or other arrangements? • Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Correlation • Do features tend to occur together? • Industry, Tall Buildings, High Density Housing, Parks?! • Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
