Summary:
In this two-day course, participants learn to use GIS software for teaching students to interact with and understand the world by creating thematic maps. Learn basic spatial skills to apply to lessons and projects in the classroom and/or community. Use data sets such as rivers, roads, lakes, counties, etc., to create simple to complex maps with themes and layers. Use created maps to illustrate curricular concepts, evaluate data, solve problems, and apply these concepts to a lesson for the classroom. Participants receive a FREE school site license for the GIS software used in class. We strongly recommend two or more people from the same school attend together.
