Great for AP Human Geography Teachers,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mapping Our World: GIS Lessons for Educators (CD-ROM)
Lyn Malone's book is an outstanding resource for teachers of Human Geography. It comes with software for over 20 different teaching activities from population growth to territorial disputes. It is designed by a teacher for teachers with clear instructions as well as materials for students to fill out. It also includes a license for all the computers in a school. This is a great resource for showing how GIS software aids the study of geography. I highly recommend this!
