Abstract


Cool Tools for GeoSchools
Track: Teaching with GIS in Schools
Author(s): Bob Coulter

The dominant model for integrating GIS into schools has been

multi-day activities in the computer lab, most often following a

scripted tutorial. These can be powerful learning experiences,

but all too often, a good question comes up and we don't have

immediate access to a computer lab or a ready-made tutorial.



In this session, explore a variety of alternative tools and teaching

models to help make geospatial inquiry a more pervasive part of

your curriculum. New tools and teaching models will be shared,

along with anecodotes about our experiences using them with

real kids.
