Discover the rapidly development of Global Positioning
Systems (GPS) as a new and essential tool for student learning in the
21st Century. Learn how this technology provides students with a powerful
tool for exploring everything from the world to their backyard. See the
power of mapping GPS data as a tool for students to investigate the world
around them.
GIS ? One of
the Best Kept Secrets in Technology for the 21st Century
Discover the rapidly growing benefits of Geographical
Information Systems (GIS) as a new and essential tool for student
learning in the 21st Century. GIS engages students in active hands-on

relevant real-issues, employ problem based learning, and advance the
technology literacy, goals of the educational community.
