I recently conducted a full day K-12 workshop for educators. This essay provides the content, data, and tools that I included in this workshop. I am posting this so that the educators who participated can dig deeper into the tools after the workshop ended, but also for other educators to use.
Tenets: Maps are analytical tools, not just reference documents. Interactive maps through GIS foster critical, spatial, and holistic thinking. GIS allows "what if ..." inquiry to take place. Teaching with GIS is active problem based learning, involving community connectedness and rich field experiences. Scale matters! Change over space and time can be grappled with using these data sets, tools, and perspectives.
Themes: Natural hazards, energy, water, history, mathematics, invasive species, biomes, regions, transportation, weather and climate, population change, land use, change over space and time.
