Explore how GIS is ideal for addressing the English Language Arts Common Core Standards. The standards say, 'Students are expected to build knowledge, gain insights, explore possibilities, and broaden their perspective. The standards require that students gain, evaluate, and present increasingly complex information, ideas, and evidence through listening and speaking as well as through media. The standards help prepare students for real life experience at college and in 21st century careers.'
