SkyWatch FRIDAY
I'm back visiting SkyWatch again...been away for awhile. Winter is slowly imposing itself along the Wasatch Front Mountains in Utah. Ski resorts have already seen several inches of snow on their slopes. Usually, the Wasatch Front mountains get a "dusting of snow mid September followed by a long cool Autumn. This year the moutains didn't get their first "snow dusting" until Oct 1st. Now the day temps. are lower and gardeners/farmers are racing to get in those last crops of apples and winter squash. This picture shows the first snow on Mt. Timanogos, Wasatch Front, Utah County, Utah, USA..These mountains partly form the eastern boundary of Utah county.

Student Designed Cartograms
Teaching students how to construct cartogram maps will help them compare countries' populations, land areas, GNP, etc. It's a visual and mathematical activity that always gets the kids involved with comparing demographics and statistics of countries. I used this activity for many years with students for various geography projects, but originally found the idea from this award-winning lesson plan: (click on image to enlarge)
I found several other links and websites using online tools to build cartograms as well:

Maps tell many stories (they reveal history)
Occasionally I post older BUT STILL VERY USEABLE AND APPLICABLE geography resources. I hate to see great lessons just disappear into the teaching netherworld, when so many (especially new teachers) are scrambling to find good teaching materials all the time. This post/link/lesson plan is from from National Geography Week 1991 materials Geography: New Worlds to Explore.In this lesson, students use three historic maps to examine how early European maps reflected the explorations of their day (primarily North American explorations).
LESSON 1 EXPLORING YESTERDAY --Maps Tell More than One Story (They Reveal History). I have scanned the lesson from the original copy that I have to share with you. I give all credit to National Geographic Geography Awareness Week 1991 for the following lesson plan:

Free Travel Opportunity to Korea for HS Geography Teachers
From Utah Geographic Alliance / National Geographic EdNet site:
Free Travel Opportunity to Korea for HS Geography Teachers
Posted October 01, 2009
The Dokdo Research Institute in South Korea, along with several other organizations, has invited me to visit Korea with a delegation of high school geography teachers, expenses paid. The dates of the visit are November 22 - 27, 2009. Collaborating organizations are the Northeast Asian History Foundation (host institution of the Dokdo Research Institute), Korean Geographical Society, and the Korean-American Association for Geospatial and Environmental Sciences. Actual departure and return dates are yet to be confirmed. As of today, outbound travel will be on November 20 or 21 due to the International Dateline and return is planned for November 28. If you are selected to participate, then you will be notified of the travel window. The Dokdo Research Institute will reimburse participants for economy round trip air fare from the airport nearest their place of residence, as well as program travel within South Korea, accommodations in South Korea, and meals. Discretionary expenditures by participants will not be reimbursed, such as souvenirs, social drinks, pay for TV, hotel room service, etc. Each participant will be required to prepare a paper (minimum 5 pages, maximum 8 pages) on a topic related to the teaching of geography. Topics will be assigned once the participant list is finalized. There is a choice of topics, but I will need to arrange the focus on a small number of essential topics. I will be preparing a paper as well. As with all funded projects, participants are expected to make a full time commitment to the project during the period of the conference. There will be opportunities for further collaboration with our hosts in the future through other exchanges. As President of NCGE, I urge members of the National Council for Geographic Education who teach in high school (grades 9 12) and APHG teachers to apply. I will provide you with background information on the Korean educational system and geography teaching in particular prior to our departure. To begin the application process, please send me one email message that includes the following: a. Assurance that the project dates are available for your participation. The project is during Thanksgiving week, but the arrangement of substitute teachers that week is reduced to Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in many schools, which is an advantage. The project does not pay for substitute teachers. Check with family and school since it is not an ordinary week in the U.S. I would rather not go through a full application process to discover that the dates are not right for you. b. Include in the email your: First, middle and last name; Do you have a U.S. Passport that is current and will not expire in the next six months? The passport number and place of issue, The grade level(s) you teach, The specific geography course(s) you teach, The name of your school, School telephone number, School address, Your home street address (not a P.O Box number) Your telephone number, since I plan to hold a short telephone interview with each applicant selected for the short list. I will need your email application information by October 9, 2009. I will begin the applicant review process on October 10. Please send your email to: stoltman@wmich.edu If email difficulties occur, please telephone me at 269-342-1707. Any general questions are preferred by email. Thank you, Joseph Stoltman, NCGE President 2009

HOLOCAUST ONLINE
WOW, WHAT A GREAT FREE (MOSTLY) RESOURCE FOR HISTORICAL PRIMARY SOURCE DOCUMENTS!!
The following article was from the Salt Lake Tribune about a tremendous online site with over a million Holocast-related documents (as well as for many other historical events) free for viewing:
"Lindon company puts more than 1 million Holocaust records online
Collection from National Archives, U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum will be free to view in October.
By Brooke Adams
The Salt Lake Tribune
Updated: 09/29/2009 11:26:13 PM MDT
At the U.S. Holocaust Museum, it is a pile of shoes that powerfully drives home for many the scale of events in the Nazi concentration camps of World War II.
At Footnote.com's new Holocaust Collection site, it is the rows of portraits of men, women and children -- nearly 600 in all -- that are likely to invoke the same emotional response from visitors.
Scroll over this portrait and you learn it is of Ruth Huppert Elias of Czechoslovakia, who gave birth in a camp but was not allowed to nurse her infant as part of survival experiment; the child died.
That one: Idzia Pienknawiesz of Poland, who was 22 when she died in a concentration camp. Or this one, which turns out to be Fred Bachner of Berlin. Bachner was taken to Auschwitz and given the task of checking shoes for hidden valuables; he escaped in a transport train and was liberated in 1945.
The interactive Web site, located at www.footnote.com/holocaust, offers more than 1 million Holocaust-related documents. It is a collaboration between the National Archives and Records Administration, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and Footnote.com, based in Lindon.
"It really is a central gathering place for these documents to come together and tell the story," said Justin Schroepfer, Footnote.com's marketing director. "It is important that they not be forgotten, with the generations that are disappearing."

"It really is a central gathering place for these documents to come together and tell the story," said Justin Schroepfer, Footnote.com's marketing director. "It is important that they not be forgotten, with the generations that are disappearing."
Footnote.com, founded in 1997 as iArchives Inc., is a privately held company that uses scanning technology to place newspapers and historical documents online. It charges fees for access and provides scanning services to other entities.
It has a partnership with Gannett Co., the largest U.S. newspaper owner, on anniversary projects about Woodstock and the Apollo moon landing.
Footnote.com buys copies of microfilms from the National Archives and digitizes them for use in searchable, interactive databases. The National Archives, which lacks funds to bring its collection into the online era, is allowing the Utah company to make commercial use of the digitized records for five years; the databases will then transition back to the archives' Web site.
The company has already created interactive databases on the Lincoln assassination, the Revolutionary and Civil wars, and the Great Depression.
Like those documents, the Holocaust records are available at archives' research centers in paper or microfilm format, which makes searching for specific records difficult.
"Working with Footnote, these records will become more widely accessible, and will help people now and in the future learn more about the events and impact of the Holocaust," said Michael Kurtz, assistant archivist of the United States in a statement.
Ron Smelser, a history professor at the University of Utah whose specialty is Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, said there is a growing awareness of and interest in the Holocaust that the collection will help meet.
"It's a wonderful idea, which means you don't have to fly to Washington," he said.
Access to the documents will be free during October. After that, access will be available only through subscription -- $79.95 for a year, $11.95 a month or $2.95 for a single image view.
The collection includes The Ardelia Hall collection, which catalogs artworks and artifacts seized by the Nazi and then taken into custody by the U.S. at the end of World War II.
There also are intelligence and interrogation reports; camp registration records and death books from Dachau, Mauthausen, Auschwitz and other camps; and proceedings of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial.
The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum provided the nearly 600 interactive personal stories of survivors and victims.
Visitors can search for specific names and add information, comments, photos and other records and create individual pages. "

ESSENTIAL GEOGRAPHY READS
ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL GEOGRAPHY READING MATERIALS FOR OUR TIMES....SHOULD BE ON REQUIRED READING LISTS IN SCHOOLS....Four corner states in the right place?
Recent news articles indicated that with new spatial technologies, the exact spot where the four corners states (UT,NM, CO, AZ)meet is in the "wrong place"...
I found the following contrary information to the above news reports at the "GIS in the News", Utah GIS Portal: http://gis.utah.gov/utah-gis-in-the-news/
National Geodetic Survey: Why the Four Corners Monument is in Exactly the Right Place
Written by Bill Stone,
Dear Utah Surveying and GIS friends ---
As you probably know, numerous web, print, and broadcast "news" items appearing in the past month claimed that the Four Corners survey monument - marking the intersection of AZ, CO, NM, and UT - is in the wrong place. These stories also suggested that the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) is the source of this "discovery." Because these stories contained numerous inaccuracies and erroneously cited NGS as the source, NGS management felt it was important that we issue some clarification/correction information. I was asked to put this together, and I have done so.The resulting document is now posted on the NGS Web site, at http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/INFO/fourcorners.shtml (note: I'm hoping we can add some photos as well). I am providing this to you for your own information and also to help you in responding to any inquiries you might have received or will receive regarding this (non) issue.Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions regarding this effort to get out the real story of the Four Corners monument.
Thanks very much!Sincerely, Bill Stone - National Geodetic Survey

Mapping the World by Heart program by David Smith
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED GEOGRAPHY PROGRAM:http://www.mapping.com/Brochure.html
Mapping the World by Heart is a fabulous mental mapping program with proven results for your students! I used it for years with my students, and it really did improve their "mental maps" of the world!!
The following is an editorial description of David Smith's award winning program, Mapping the World by Heart:
"Can your students draw detailed maps without an atlas?
They can now! Perform a miracle with Mapping the World by Heart. It's a complete and proven approach to teaching geography. You'll see the most amazing results! Picture your students confidently penciling in the countries of central Africa, the expanse of the Rocky Mountains, and the nations of Southeast Asia. All by heart. As seen on NBC and in Time magazine! The stunning results of David Smith's curriculum were featured on NBC's Today show, in Time magazine, and in newspapers across the country. Now you can get the same results in your classroom!
What's Included
Comprehensive Teacher's Guide, detailed lesson plans, reproducibles, and blank outline maps. Mapping the World by Heart Lite includes master outline maps (one for each of the 9 world regions).
About the Author
David J. Smith has 26 years of experience teaching geography, history, and English in public and private schools. The U.S. Department of Education honored him in 1992 with their "Breaking the Mold" Award for this curriculum, and that, along with feature stories on The Today Show, and in Time Magazine, the Boston Globe, the New York Times, The International Educator, and other media, propelled him out of the classroom and into a full-time consulting practice.
Since 1992, he has given workshops, seminars, and addresses in 30 countries and 38 states, both on "Mapping The World By Heart" curriculum and on geography and geographic literacy generally, focusing on what he refers to as "world-mindedness across the curriculum".
