One of the challenges for Trekking the Planet is how to make the sometimes dry subject of geography come to life. Because people respond to different forms of media, we chronicle our trip both in written form (with photos) and video form.
We have been receiving questions about how and when we are communicating on this journey. Read the story to learn about the three ways we are communicating.
The fourth and final video from our school presentation is here! Read the story to view the video.
The third video from our school presentations covers the equipment that our expedition will bring. We show samples of the some items we are packing for our around-the-world journey.
This second video from our presentations to schools focuses on where we will be going on our around-the-world-trip to raise geography awareness.
We are releasing a series of videos covering our student presentations. This first one is from our visit to an intermediate school and highlights geography and its importance in today’s global society.
Trekking the Planet plans to leverage technology during our journey by not only providing classrooms with pictures, audio and video from the road, but by leveraging the iPad to interact with our educational modules directly on that device.
This three minute video, put out by Google Earth, provides some insight into what geography is and why it matters through the eyes of students.
