Making Community Connections calls for a more integrative look at the world we live in. Invariably, the Community Mapping Program makes more clearly visible the connections of various factors affecting the particular object of study. Concepts of sustainability, responsibility, integration, and the larger picture, find their way into classroom discussions and are then mapped in multiple different ways.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good Ideas-shows you step by step,
This review is from: Making Community Connections: The Orton Family Foundation Community Mapping Program (Paperback)
This book accompanied along with Community Geography: GIS in Action, make a great pair in completing community mapping projects with classrooms grades K-12. Again, like Community Geography, the books took a long time to get to me (over a month), so plan in advance.
