Geospatial+Technologies

Presenter: Bob Kolvoord, Professor, JMU Kathryn Keranen, Consultant, Geospatial technologies

The Virginia Department of Education's Geospatioa Instructional Applications Initiative (GIAI) provides a statewide site license for GIS software for middle and high schools.

Bob demonstrated the software and provided examples of how it could be used in a classroom.

I had attended several meetings on GIS software before attending this one and had never seen the software demonstrated. Bob was an excellent presenter who knew a great deal about how the application, He used the differnet data sets to illistrate how the software interpets the data and displays it in map form.

I actually understand how this could be used after attending this session.
