Click on a state region to display photo sites About the Images of Wisconsin The late Carl Guell, former Chief of Wisconsin's Bureau of Aviation Education and Safety, took over one thousand 35 mm slide photographs of the state's landscapes from the air during flights made from 1951 to 1979. It had been his wish that the photographs, which contain a wealth of geographical and historical information, be made available for educational and research use. He transferred his unique collection to the Department of Geography at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh In 1995, I cataloged and described the slides with the assistance of a grant from the University's Faculty Development Program. The images were subsequently digitized. Additional images and accompanying descriptions have been added to this page which began in 1997 with twenty photographs. My son Mark, who is an Assistant Professor at Texas State University, designed this web site and assisted in the interpretation of landscape features. He is a faculty member in the Department of Geography with special interests in river processes, theoretical geomorphology, hydrology, remote sensing, and the American West. Mark can be contacted at mfonstad@txstate.edu

Welcome to the Geography Department Website The study of geography affords students the opportunity to examine the differences and similarities of the various physical and cultural environments in which we live. Drawing on concepts from both the physical and the social sciences, geographers work in such fields as education, urban and regional planning, government agencies, conservation, international business, tourism, cartography, international relations, etc. Information about Professor Jerry Gerlach Geography course descriptions and requirements for major and minor Jerry Gerlach - Professor, Geography; B.A., University of Nebraska; M.A., University of Nebraska; Ph.D., University of Oklahoma; 1988 - Office: Minne Hall, 327 Phone: (507) 457-5432 E-Mail: jgerlach@Winona.edu PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP AND AWARDS Gamma Theta Upsilon National Council for Geographic Education Association of American Geographers Society for the North American Cultural Survey Awarded Fulbright Exchange Scholarship to Newcastle upon Tyne Polytechnic, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom for 1983-84 Academic Year

49. Wisconsin Model Academic Standards For Social Studies In high schools, the social studies courses are given names such as United StatesHistory, geography, Global Studies Copyright State of wisconsin Department of http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/dpi/standards/ssintro.html

WISCONSIN MODEL ACADEMIC STANDARDS FOR SOCIAL STUDIES INTRODUCTION I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but with the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take power from them, but to inform their discretion through instruction. -Thomas Jefferson (1820) In order to ensure our survival as a free nation, students at all grade levels in Wisconsin are required to learn about the principles and ideals upon which the United States is founded and understand the world in which they live. Definition of Social Studies "Social studies" is the title used to describe the study of the social sciences and humanities. Within the curriculum, social studies provides coordinated, systematic study of information, skills, and concepts from the disciplines of history, geography, political science, economics, anthropology, psychology, law, archaeology, and sociology with attention also given to connections among the peoples and nations of the world, the effect of science and technology on society (and vice versa), and the ways to practice good citizenship. Social studies helps young people develop the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed and reasoned decisions as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world. Knowledge and Skills Students at all levels should develop skills and understandings in all five strands found in the Wisconsin standards for social studies. These skills and understandings are embedded in the performance standards. The curriculum in elementary and middle schools establishes the foundation for the entire social studies program. Without this foundation, students cannot develop the attitudes nor acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to participate in a democratic society and understand an increasingly complex world. It is also important to recognize that the designated levels, by grade four, by grade eight, and by grade twelve, lead students to higher and deeper levels of knowledge and skills as they progress through school.

50. Social Studies Standard A (Geography) Content Standard Students in wisconsin will learn about geography through the studyof the relationships among people, places, and environments. Rationale. http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/standards/ssstana.html

A. GEOGRAPHY: PEOPLE, PLACES, AND ENVIRONMENTS Content Standard Students in Wisconsin will learn about geography through the study of the relationships among people, places, and environments. Rationale Students gain geographical perspectives on the world by studying the earth and the interactions of people with places where they live, work, and play. Knowledge of geography helps students to address the various cultural, economic, social, and civic implications of life in earth's many environments. In Wisconsin schools, the content, concepts, and skills related to geography may be taught in units and courses that deal with geography, history, global studies, anthropology, sociology, psychology, current events, and world religions.

Australia Muir in Australia Canada "The Calypso Borealis" by John Muir, excerpted from The Life and Letters of John Muir Meaford , Ontario -(Offsite-Link) Re-Visit John Muir's Meaford Experience on June 13, 1998! - Muir wrote, "When I came to the Georgian Bey of Lake Huron, whose waters are so transparent and beautiful, and the forests about its shores with their ferny, mossy dells and deposits of boulder clay, it seemed to be a most favorable place for study... In a beautiful dell, only a mile or two from the magnificent bay, I fortunately found work in a factory where there was a sawmill and lathes for turning out rakes, broom, and fork handles, etc." Muir worked at Trout's mill for a year and a half, greatly improving the efficiency of output of rake handles by making efficiency improvements. But on February 21 of 1866, the factory building and all of its contents took fire, thus ending Muir's Meaford sojourn.
