GIS‐based activities offer a great solution to equipping students for survival. “It’s a school’s job to make sure student have these skills before graduating: 1. Problem‐solving and critical thinking; 2 Collaboration across networks and leading by influence; 2. Collaboration across networks and leading by influence; 3. Agility and adaptability; 4.

“The English Language Arts community as well as the business professional development community can utilize GIS to teach reading, writing and thinking with a pivotal 21st century tool. Students respond to g g p y pinstruction that clearly explores how they relate to our world.  GIS can infuse reading, writing and thinking with new perspectives.  Reading applications of GIS include influential authors and how they relate to their works  thematic collections of literature  and non‐fiction selections their works, thematic collections of literature, and non fiction selections like those found in magazine, newspapers and online.  Writing and learning to communicate are essential skills that are natural results of researching and analyzing data that can culminate in a myriad of writing contexts such as research  essays  creative works  and real world work  “ contexts such as research, essays, creative works, and real‐world work.   (From  “Geographic Information Systems: A Necessary Tool to Teach Reading, Writing and Thinking in the 21st Century” by B. Duke)

“Finally, thinking is the magic behind GIS in the classroom.  Spatial awareness and spatial thinking have the power to transform how students examine  learn and solve problems in their world   “Teach students examine, learn and solve problems in their world.   Teach a man to fish and he’ll never go hungry.”  What if we teach students to think and use the curricular content in their lives?  What if teachers had the best tools to accomplish their goals?  h d f l ld ld b d dWhat a wonderful world it would be.  GIS in education needs to 

follow the example of its business counterparts and step beyond the boundaries of science, technology and geography to influence all areas of the education landscape  “ all areas of the education landscape.   (From  “Geographic Information Systems: A Necessary Tool to Teach Reading, Writing and Thinking in the 21st Century” by B. Duke))
