No Fear! 20-Minute GIS is Here
Track: Teaching with GIS in Schools
Authors: Anita Palmer, Barbaree Duke

GIS is a powerful tool for students to investigate spatial distribution of geographic data. Sometimes we don’t have enough time or technology resources to give every student a hands-on experience. Come explore how 20-minute GIS activities utilizing ArcGIS Explorer and ArcGIS Online can stimulate effective student discussion starters, enhance lectures, and liven up your content. 20-Minute GIS is quick, easy and could be just the addition you are looking for in your classroom.
