SSSA Division: Soil Education and Outreach Session: Integrating Spatial Educational Experiences (Isee) – Mapping a New Approach to Teaching and Learning Soil Science: I (ASA, CSSA and SSSA International Annual Meetings)

153 Integrating Spatial Educational Experiences (Isee) – Mapping a New Approach to Teaching and Learning Soil Science: I

Oral Session

SSSA Division: Soil Education and Outreach

This session will highlight experiences in teaching and learning soil science that utilize digital soil maps in the field and in the classroom. Many of the presenters will be participants in a multi-state USDA Higher Education Challenge Grant Project with the same title, but others wishing to share approaches that use spatial technologies for teaching and learning soil science are welcome to participate.
