New activity - Experience GIS for Urban Planning
I'm excited to share a new activity for students - Experience GIS for Urban Planning. This activity has students read about a real-life GIS use case in urban planning, answer some questions about what they've read, then use GIS to solve the same problem.
No accounts? No problem - They aren't needed
Students can get hands-on using GIS for urban planning without having an account. The first part of the activity can be completed without one. If the students have accounts, there is more in the activity that they than can continue to do.
Where does the activity fit in the classroom?
Consider incorporating this activity into architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) or Supply Chain and Transportation career clusters and pathways in CTE programs.
Done with the AP Human Geography exam? Challenge your students with this activity.
Teaching a higher ed unit on urban or human geography? Your students will also benefit.
None of those apply to you? You can still use the activity - we are happy to see more students exposed to GIS.
Leave us a comment about how the activity worked for your students.
