Members of the Advisory Group are the authors for all White Papers. I was the sole author on this one, with some editorial contributions from the AG.

]]> Comment on a few more thoughts on our Spatial Thinking across the Curriculum conference by Eric Cromwell http://dianamaps.com/2013/01/13/a-few-more-thoughts-on-our-spatial-thinking-across-the-curriculum-conference/#comment-950 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 11:56:05 +0000 http://dianamaps.com/?p=1011#comment-950 Very interesting discussion. I think you are correct about David having a specific geography focus, but then again he does work for ESRI. I think once the Next Gen Science Stanards are published we will have te scaffolding we need to build a solid framework for spatial literacy.

]]> Comment on spatial thinking in movies by Joseph Kerski http://dianamaps.com/2012/10/13/spatial-thinking-in-movies/#comment-448 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 13:00:15 +0000 http://dianamaps.com/?p=986#comment-448 Thanks Diana. Excellent discovery. There is a whole realm of spatial thinking in all sorts of facets of life that we are just becoming aware of, and spatial thinking in movies is quite intriguing. I don’t see many movies, but one of my favorites is Enchanted April. It is about 4 women in 1920′s England who take a holiday in Italy. The contrast between England and Italy in light, space, nature, and much more is quite evident in the way the film was shot.
