AbstractCool 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.
