Bringing GIS into the K-12 Education Environment: Collaboration with Community Organizations as a Key to Success
Reinhold FriebertshauserUniversity School is an independent preparatory school in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. It was one of the first high schools to attempt to bring GIS into its curriculum seven years ago. The presenter will describe how bridges have been built with various agencies and organizations that now look to the school as a credible collaborator in GIS-based projects. Examples will be given of several of these collaborative projects including a project to digitize and build coverages of all the zoning maps of the sixteen townships and villages in Geauga County, Ohio, for the County's Auditor's Office and Planning Commission.
