Geography is everywhere and so is GIS!

GIS is just the right tool for students to explore, question, integrate, analyze, interpret, evaluate, and act on information. Alibrandi offers stories of teachers and students from the U.S. and Canada who have harnessed the power of GIS to conduct original research. Follow these students as they employ GIS to:

conduct water quality testing where pollution and reduced flow had impacted local shellfish bedsdevelop a profile of their city during the pre- and post-Civil Rights era by interviewing African American adults who had attended their schooladdress community needs, including Food Bank distribution routes and site locations for child care facilities?solve problems in Canada, from transportation planning for the Olympics to mapping ethnic neighborhoods.

The companion interactive CD-ROM provides the GIS software, plus sample projects and activities for GIS integration, developed by the author and Shannon White, that are closely tied to the text.
