This document outlines an agenda for a session on mobile mapping and survey tools. It introduces key concepts like geospatial literacy and using maps to foster student inquiry. Attendees will learn mapping and inquiry terminology, participate in a sample survey, view sample student projects, and try creating their own survey using Survey123. The document promotes using mobile mapping to engage students in questioning, observation, and data collection about their community. It provides examples of survey questions and emphasizes that the Survey123 tool is free for K-12 schools to use.

(good for field trips) • Monitor E. coli concentrations in Four Mile Run and Tripps Run for the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (examine data trends over time, and identify and calculate impervious surfaces in the city using spatial imagery, connecting with study on stormwater) Other questions that can be used for data collection
- 21. EXAMPLES Other questions that can be used for data collection Your turn!

Editor's Notes
- #12: (define geospatial:Geospatial literacy includes the ability to understand, create and use geospatial representations for Web navigation, narrative descriptions, problem-solving and artistic expression (Liebhold 2004). In light of the explosive growth and diminished lifespan of information, geospatial literacy is becoming increasingly important, as the thought that needs to be followed in information discovery tasks is often spatial in nature) This ises ArcGIS explorer (explorer.arcgis.com)
