What Is It Like AroundMy Community, MyCountry, My World?
Every day, in textbooks, newspapers, and TV, students
explore their world. They experience their community
on oot, by bicycle, by bus, and by car. They collect data
by sidewalk and streamside, download videos rom the
Internet, and gather inormation rom sources ar and wide.
Managing this great wealth o data calls or a geographic
inormation system (GIS).
A GIS manages location-based inormation and provides
the tools to display and integrate it, whether it is
population characteristics, economic
development opportunities, or
vegetation types. A GIS consists o
more than just computer maps: it
gives you the power to link data to
maps to create dynamic displays. It
provides tools to visualize, query,
and analyze data in ways not
possible with traditional
spreadsheets.
You do not need to teach geography to use
GIS. History teachers can watch a region
change over time. Science teachers can
enhance local projects with interactive maps.
Numbers come alive when they represent a
real place and can be manipulated in a GIS.
Language arts teachers can explore the richness
o communication with multimedia GIS. And all
classes become vocational in nature when students develop skills
sought by the adult world.
GIS helps students and teachers understand their world.In their schoolwork, students can use GIS to bring value to
the community. Everyone benets when students catalog
community resources, help businesses market their products,
or dene alternative views o the land. Working with businesses,
agencies, or researchers, students can use GIS to display the
complex abric that is our community and our world. GIS is a
tool or studying the world and all that was, is, or could be in it
at a local, regional, or global level.

Geographic Data Choices
Spatial data about many subjects is available rom public agencies and commercial data providers. ESRI distributes starting data with
ArcView sotware. Additional data can be downloaded or even used on the fy rom the vast repositories on the Internet such as the
Geography NetworkSM
(www.geographynetwork.com).
ArcView also provides tools or creating your own digital map eatures, building tabular databases, and integrating imagery. Students can
create statistical data rom sources such as the daily newspaper, annual reports, or their own eld research with global positioning system(GPS) units. They can join new inormation to existing geographic shapes such as countries, state outlines, or GPS points.
