New activity - Experience GIS for Wildfire Management
I'm excited to share a new activity for students - Experience GIS for Wildfire Management. This activity has students watch a short video about a real-life GIS use case in fire science, answer some questions about what they've seen, then use GIS to solve the same problem.
No accounts? No problem - They aren't needed
Students can get hands-on using GIS for wildfire management 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 the following career clusters and pathways in CTE programs:
- Fire Science
- Fire Technology and Emergency Services
- Emergency and Fire Management Services
- Public Safety
- Forestry and Natural Resources
Teaching a higher ed unit on fire science or another fire topic? 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.
