GIS Day provides an international forum for users of geographic information systems (GIS) technology to demonstrate real-world applications that are making a difference in our society. The first formal GIS Day took place in 1999. Esri president and co-founder Jack Dangermond credits Ralph Nader with being the person who inspired the creation of GIS Day. He considered GIS Day a good initiative for people to learn about geography and the uses of GIS. He wanted GIS Day to be a grassroots effort and open to everyone to participate. |

In Time & Place is a growing library of teaching materials for classroom, distance, or home use focusing on selected topics in American history. You will find many traditional reading, map, and photo related resources, but you will also find GIS (Geographic Information System) data and activities as well. All of the materials can be used individually or as a whole to build a unit on each topic in a way that best suits your and your students' needs. There are suggestions in some cases that the materials are well suited to group work or jigsaw type sharing activities. But these are not pre-packaged lessons; rather collections of resources that you can adapt to your style and specific classroom needs. |

STEM Education from National Geographic National Geographic Education's STEM resources are multidisciplinary and integrate subjects beyond science, technology, engineering, and math to include critical thinking, problem-solving, and 21st century skills. Although STEM education typically focuses on science, technology, engineering, and math, the best STEM programs share a common characteristic-they are integrated and multidisciplinary beyond those four core subjects. Best practices in STEM education include a focus on critical thinking, problem solving, and 21st century skills such as communicating and collaborating. They combine hands-on learning with content learning. And they bring STEM content to life by showing students applications beyond the K-12 classroom, into the realm of work and careers. |

In this exercise, you will use Google Earth to create a virtual tour of [the University of Colorado at Boulder]. The tour will include 3D views of [the campus] and relevant multimedia information. You will need geographic coordinates of some [campus buildings] and other features [such as parking lots]. In addition you will need digital photos of [these buildings and videos of some locations on campus]. You will also need to provide a brief description of each building or feature. The purpose of this exercise is to demonstrate how to implement Geography Standard 1 in the classroom. Specifically, Geography Standard 1 requires that students know how to use and construct maps, globes, and other geographic tools to locate and derive information about people, places, and environments. |
