Résumé

Deepen your students' understanding of the world with qeoqraphic information system software.

Mapping Our World: GIS Lessons for Educators, ArcGIS Desktop Edition is the complete resource for any teacher seeking to bring geographic information system (GIS) technology into the middle- or high-school classroom. This book updates the original Mapping Our World-for use with the latest GIS software, ArcGIS 9 Desktop. In addition to nineteen complete GIS lesson plans, Mapping Our World: GIS Lessons for Educators, ArcGIS Desktop Edition includes a one-year license of ArcView 9 software, geographic data for all of the lessons, and a companion Web site. This comprehensive educational resource gives novice GIS educators all the tools they need to begin teaching with GIS. Educators with more GIS experience will find the lessons and data ideal points of departure for more complex and extended inquiries.

The book's seven modules are built around different geographic themes. Students can investigate each theme on three different levels.

The global perspective lesson targets first-time GIS students and gives them the opportunity to explore real data from around the world, create maps, and ask essential questions.
The regional case study lesson targets students with slightly more ArcGIS experience, and focuses on a particular area of the world, allowing students to access regional information and data and to analyze regional issues.
The advanced investigation lesson targets experienced ArcGIS users, requiring significant independent work, self-motivation, and sophisticated problem-solving skills.

Each GIS investigation has been developed according to National Geography standards. Detailed step-by-step instructions for the student, well-placed screen captures, and questions that help students acquire broad-based problem-solving skills accompany every lesson.
