IN GeoSpatial Education:Connecting INView, IGIC, & GENI

Indiana Social Studies Academic Standards K-12, GHW, APHG geospatial technologies first appeared in 1998: GPS and GIS currently embedded under concepts as “text” – state and national

Professional Development via GENI IGIC

GIS statewide connections o Thanks to IU, IGS, IN Spatial Data Portal, GIO…o THANKS to YOU and your colleagues and predecessors

collaborations with GENI: conferences, professional development, assist with lesson plan/curriculum development, field work… professionals interact with educators and students National Board on Geographic Names – lesson plan

INView 2 high school student tutorials: lesson plans, PDF, inter-actives, glossary 1 middle school student tutorial: to be complete September, 2014

IN GeoSpatial Technologies Policy Timeline foundation and history shared resources for future planning

INView/GENI Collaborative Efforts

Response to opportunity provided by IndianaView (USGS/AmericaView) Need identified by IndianaView Consortium:

education/outreach materials that use/highlight state geospatial data initiatives geospatial curriculum materials for (IN) K-12 educators & students

Determined to address students in high school (Indiana) Geography & History of the World Advanced Placement Human Geography

Create common nomenclature for educators & students (glossary) Presented the Project idea at 2012 GIS Conference

Themes obtained from you and your colleagues; preparing students for decision-making from a spatial perspective with latest technologies

the use of satellite imagery in the classroom – created by educators with contact information provided GPS.gov, for information about global positioning systems, tutorials, videos, posters, bookmarks, and links to

other GPS resources (http://www.gps.gov). For example, a classroom lesson plan using trilateration to explain how GPS finds a location is available at http://www.gps.gov/multimedia/tutorials/trilateration.
