Learning Outcomes• Understand, articulate, demonstrate:
– GIS theory and methods
– Geographic Information Science
– GIS ANALYSIS (more than getting data in and displaying it)
– Simple spatial analysis
– Basic software skills

StorytimeAn aviatrix was piloting a hot air
balloon. She ran into some unexpected weather and was blown about for a long time. When the weather cleared, and she was able to descend, she had no idea where she was.

As she came down, she saw someone immediately below her and yelled, “Where am I?”
“You are 75 feet above my head.”

“How did youknow?!?”
“You must be aneconomist.”
“Because what you have just told
me is perfectlyaccurate, butperfectly useless!”

Moral of the Story...
“Location, no matter how precisely specified, is sterile in and of itself.
Context determines whether or not knowledge of location is invaluable. . . .”
-- Ron Abler, former executive director of the
Association of American Geographers
