SUGGESTED READING
[032500479X.jpg] GIS in the Classroom: Using Geographic Information
Systems in Social Studies and Environmental Science - Marsha Alibrandi
takes us to the cutting edge of teaching social studies and environmental
education using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). A computer
application for urban planning, weather reporting, and geological and
demographic studies, GIS has been increasingly employed by teachers to
help students improve their geographical and critical thinking skills.
Alibrandi presents an overview of this technology and examples of how it
can transform your classroom. Geography is everywhere and so is GIS! GIS
is just the right tool for students to explore, question, integrate,
analyze, interpret, evaluate, and act on information. Alibrandi offers
stories of teachers and students from the U.S. and Canada who have
harnessed the power of GIS to conduct original research.
