Abstract


Introducing GIS into K-12 Education, A Utah Perspective
Track: Community Projects and Partnerships
Author(s): Kevin Sato

A grass roots coalition of Utah educators, technology trainers, and GIS professionals have been working to introduce GIS technology into the Utah K-12 education system for several years. This paper will discuss the history of how these different groups have worked together to create an environment for success by providing software, training, and data; designing curriculum; enabling educators and GIS mentors; and supporting various efforts to introduce educators, administrators, and students to GIS.
