Track: Educational Research and Teacher Education
Author(s): Joseph Kerski
If you would like to conduct a workshop or presentation on GIS in education to your school district officials, students, teachers, the news media, community leaders, or other groups, this workshop is for you. GIS in education is evolving and improving, but the core messages to convey its importance to society and to education remain remarkably constant. Discover the essential movies, Web mapping sites, slides, quotes, research, datasets, quotes, books, and articles that will make your workshop shine! The author shares his advice from the 300 workshops he has conducted since 1993 as well as responses from participants in those workshops. You will receive many of the tools mentioned in the workshop so you can effectively incorporate them into your existing training or into a new workshop.
