Relevance of GIS in Education
Name some issues of concern in…
• Your community
• Your region
• The World
All of the key issues of our time have a
geographic component and can be
better understood and solved with GIS

A GIS offers much
more than even the
best paper maps.

GIS =
Hardware,
software,
data,
procedures,
people.
GIS = A decision-
making tool.
GIS = Part of
geotechnologies.

• Watersheds
• Communities
• Neighborhoods
• Ecosystems
• Patterns
• Linkages
• Trends
Context and Content –
Location - where is it?
Place – what is it like?
• Seeing the Whole • Managing Places

Drivers for Teaching With Geotechnologies
• Constructivism
• Problem-based learning
• Authentic Assessment
• National Curricula and Educational Standards
• National Academy of Sciences:
Learning to Think Spatially
• Hardware, software, data advances
• New Geospatial Tools

Geotechnologies can enhanceinstruction because they are:
• Multidisciplinary
• A real-world technology using real data
• Involving authentic tasks and assessments
• Encouraging community connections
• Used at scales from local to global
•Tied to education standards
and national curricula

More reasons why…
• Inquiry-based
• Team-based
• Problem-solving approach
• Project-based
• Engaging
Process is just as important as the product
(Constructivism)

GeoTechnologies allow students to study local to
global phenomena and incorporates fieldwork.
The importance of getting possible students out
in the field as much as and as young as possible
has been well documented (Last Child in the
Woods (Louv), “No Child Left Inside”, AGI)

From Visualization to Analysis
…Dig deeper; Think
Geographically

Now more than ever, we need people
who think broadly and who understand systems,
connections, patterns, and root causes…
how to think in whole systems, how to find
connections,
how to ask big questions, and how to separate
the trivial from the important.
--David W. Orr, Earth In Mind:
On Education, Environment, and the Human
Prospect, 1994

Think of the Consequences:
If future societies do not know how to
think critically and spatially.
