Follow-up on Urban Science
Back when I was actively blogging at this blog (now I'm more active with my actual class blogs), I was very interested in something I came across called Urban Science. I took an Urban Planning class my last year at UCLA and considered going into this field. It starts with the sense of place that the best studies of geography try to capture. Informed by the history and geography of place, Urban Planning deals with real-life, down-to-earth, practical issues of the use of that space. Some day I would love to venture further in this area. I also designed a webquest for a class project that has to do with urban planning. Urban Science looks to me like a top-notch tool for teaching. I haven't used it so I'm only going by this video and the previous exploration I've done, but the fact that students this age are participating in something that at least appears to be relevant, rewarding, real, etc. gets me excited. Sorry. This video has been removed by its owner. Bummer.
