Product Description
Classrooms-and learning-are being transformed in grade, middle, and high schools around the country through the use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems). High school students in Massachusetts stage a simulated spill of toxic chemicals on a city street and manage a mock evacuation. Halfway across the country in Missouri, two fifth graders analyze water quality in a nearby creek and determine where and how it is being polluted. GIS in the World of K-12 Education documents these and other projects in a series of case studies. Using problem-based learning as a strategy, students and teachers can draw on current events, history, issues of community health and welfare, and the natural world to choose a topic that has both immediate relevance to their daily lives and a spatial component. A basic introduction to GIS software allows students to begin to explore the ways in which they can use its spatial learning capabilities and decision-making tools to solve their specific problems. Includes CD-ROM
