Many users focus too much attention on the geography of GIS, neglecting the diversity the of the "information" and the possibilities in the "systems." The webinar "Adapting GIS to Fit Multi-Disciplinary Needs" will expand on three (3) major components of successful GIS integration in K-12 applications: 1) the building of a broad-base of users through targeted professional in-service training and an understanding of the key features of lesson design; 2) the identification of GIS subsets in relationship to curriculum standards; and 3) the making of GIS connections at suitable integration points in the delivery of classroom knowledge. The webinar will present practical and replicable examples as touchstones for the application of crucial curriculum principles.

Time: 2:00pm to 3:00 pm
