When
most people hear of geospatial technologies such as geographic
information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS),
and remote
sensing (RS) tools, they often think about car
navigational systems or mapping tools. But these applications
can be used as learning tools in the classroom, too.
 Educators are using geospatial tools to help students think
spatially, an increasingly important skill used in hundreds of today's jobs in
fields such
as law enforcement,
environmental management, and public safety.
School leaders, too, are using geospatial technologies to help with planning
and decision making. These tools can help districts make more informed decisions
related to facilities planning, student transportation, school safety, and more.
To help educators integrate GIS and other geospatial technologies
into classrooms and district offices, eSchool News has
assembled this invaluable collection of stories, best practices,
and
other resources to further enhance your arsenal of teaching
tools.
