By 1904, Harlem's real estate crashed. Doors opened for Black entrepreneurs. By 1930, its Black population soared-10% to 70%. Then came NAACP and the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

Considering submitting a session proposal for this year's Texas Council for the Social Studies Conference. Curious to know—how much interest is there in North Texas for using geteach.com in the classroom by the teacher/creator of the site?

Selecting maps in geteach.com There are two ways to achieve the same outcome—buttons at the top and bottom right of each panel. Interesting to watch which path the students choose when using the tool. #Geogchat #geographyteacher #geography #geosky #edusky

Looking forward to our Climate Unit. Amazing how a couple of gridlines help simplify complexity. #Geogchat #geographyteacher #geography #geosky #edusky Quick (1 min) YouTube Demo: youtu.be/7ERNlon-ddA More detailed (8 min) YouTube: youtu.be/eIQubAogCVk geteach.com

Thinking about ways to use geteach.com and its new grid system. Start the year with values and limitations of geographer's tools, so that seems like a good place to begin. geteach.com grid systems tips/tricks YouTube: youtu.be/eIQubAogCVk #Geogchat #geographyteacher #geography #geosky #edusky

Finally integrated a Lat/Lng grid system into geteach.com! Been working on this since switching to Google Maps API back in 2014. Code is a bit brute-forced for now - will clean it up after testing. #Geogchat #geographyteacher #geography #geosky #edusky YouTube demo: youtu.be/7ERNlon-ddA
