Welcome The AAG Center for Global Geography Education (CGGE) offers a variety of educational resources and professional development opportunities for higher education faculty, college students, and teachers of Advanced Placement (AP) Human Geography in high schools. Since 2003, the CGGE has built a collection of online modules for undergraduate courses in geography and related social and environmental sciences.   Six modules are currently available: National Identity, Population and Natural Resources, Migration, Global Climate Change, Water Resources, and Migration.    Each module includes the following educational resources: 1. A Conceptual Framework that introduces students to some of the key concepts, theories, and analytical approaches in geography.  The conceptual framework provides students with the background they need to think geographically about global issues. 2. Case studies illustrating how geographic concepts, methods, and technologies can be used to investigate and solve problems in different places and countries.   The case studies feature a variety of “spatial thinking” activities and other resources for teaching students how to analyze issues from a geographic perspective. 3. Collaborative projects that use e-learning technologies to connect geography classes in different countries for online collaboration and discussion.   All of the CGGE modules were developed collaboratively by geographers from different countries. To learn more about using the modules, visit the Getting Started page. CGGE regularly sponsors workshops for students and faculty at professional conferences held in different countries.   See the Workshops page for a schedule of upcoming events. CGGE also funds research projects assessing the effectiveness of the modules for improving the ability of students to learn geographic concepts, discuss issues from an international perspective, and work effectively in multinational teams.  Visit the Research page for a list of publications and updates on research in progress. The CGGE project is supported by geographers, education specialists, and academic organizations in many countries.   For additional information about the project staff and partner organizations, visit the About Us page. Please help us spread the word about CGGE by downloading a CGGE flyer and sharing it with colleagues.  The flyer is available as a PDF in English, Spanish, Arabic, French, and Chinese.
