Solem，CGGE，华盛顿，华盛顿特区和Chandra Balachandran博士，印度地理研究所（TIIGS），印度班加罗尔。 CGGE印度研讨会将于2012年3月在班加罗尔举行。 它旨在激活美国和南亚地理学家之间的合作研究和教育网络。 参与者将学习协作学习理论的基本原则，共同开发CGGE的地理案例研究为美国和印度，并计划合作研究项目。 将有来自两国的大量参与者，包括本科生和研究生，早期职业教师和来自美国和南亚的领导职位的高级学者，从而将新一代的学生和研究人员引入国际合作地理教育的主题。本次研讨会增加了一个南亚组成部分正在进行的NSF奖CGGE使用互联网技术，以解决美国学生需要获得国际视野和地理能力的高水平，以了解和欣赏一个多样化和相互依存的世界。 许多地理学家相信，互联网可以帮助建立一个致力于合作研究、教学和跨国学习的国际学者社区。该研讨会对于发展教育学和教育研究的虚拟合作至关重要，这将在美国和南亚的研究人员和教育工作者之间形成。 它还将为地理专业学生和大学教授的创新专业发展和学习提供坚实的基础，帮助他们在从当地到国际的许多规模上进行合作。

1065935Michael Solem CGGE-India Workshop: Expanding U.S.-South Asia collaborations in Geography Education This award to The Association of American Geographers'(AAG)Center for Global Geography Education (CGGE) supports a U.S.-India workshop organized by Drs. Michael N. Solem, CGGE, Washington, D.C. and Dr. Chandra Balachandran, The Indian Institute of Geographical Studies (TIIGS), Bangalore, India. The CGGE-India Workshop will take place in Bangalore, March 2012. It is designed to activate collaborative research and education networks among geographers in the United States and South Asia. Participants will learn the basic tenets of collaborative learning theory, work together to develop CGGE geographical case studies for the U.S. and India, and plan collaborative research projects. There will be a large number of participants from both countries, including undergraduate and graduate students, early career faculty and senior academics in leadership positions from both the U.S. and South Asia, thereby introducing a whole new generation of students and researchers to topics in international collaborative geography education. This workshop adds a South Asia component to an ongoing NSF award to the CGGE that uses Internet technology to address the need for American students to obtain international perspectives and high levels of competency in geography in order to understand and appreciate a diverse and interdependent world. Many geographers are convinced that the Internet can help build an integrated international community of scholars dedicated to collaborative research, teaching and multinational learning. The workshop is pivotal in developing virtual collaborations in pedagogy and education research that will be forged between the researchers and educators from the U.S. and South Asia. It will also provide a strong foundation for innovative professional development and learning for geography students and college professors by helping them collaborate across many scales-from the local to the international.
