A few months ago, I attended a training course for Rayburn Tours' Field Studies Tutors. Time for Geography had worked with Rhian and Rayburn to produce some new resources telling this compelling story, and they are now starting to be available. As part of the course we had a session with Dr. Rhian Meara.

The Time for Geography folks have been spending some time in Iceland and the results of their efforts will appear soon on their website. This was supported by Rayburn Tours, who I work for as a field tutor. It's a new resource on the volcanic island of Heimaey (home island) - part of the Westmann Islands.

The 10 future teachers we interviewed span different geographies, backgrounds, education experiences and motivations. Pricila Cano Padron, of Dallas, Texas, remembers her “wake-up call” in middle school, when she helped tutor English-learning classmates in math and reading (she is bilingual). Each story — each person — is unique.

This eight-week online course is designed for geography trainees who haven’t previously studied a geography (or a similar) degree. Dr Becky Kitchen, our expert tutor, will guide and support you through the course materials – which have been designed in partnership with experienced teacher trainers.

I work as a Field Studies Tutor (FST) for Rayburn, and go out twice a year or so to help students and teachers interpret the amazing landscape and culture of Iceland. One of the sessions that we had as a group of Field Study Tutors was from Dr. Rhian Meara. I spent two days last week at Rayburn Tours' HQ in Derby.

That volcano is still erupting; the geography of digital possibilities for math learning is constantly expanding. As my mentor Jim Kaput vividly wrote in a 1992 NCTM research handbook “anyone who presumes to describe the roles of technology in mathematics education faces challenges akin to describing a newly active volcano.”
