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.Browse GIS books here
