SpatialSci – The one stop shop for teachers committed to implementing geo-technologies into K-12 classroom instruction.

The mission of SpatialSci http://www.spatialsci.com/ is to provide educators with a sustained environment for the integration of geo-technologies into classroom instruction. From relevant spatial data sets to GIS-based curriculum, SpatialSci is a one stop shop for teachers committed to implementing geo-technologies into K-12 classroom instruction.

Geo-technologies are used daily in so many aspects of human activity that many predict it will one day be a required basic skill set just as word processing is today (Alibrandi, 2003). If you have ever pulled a travel map off the internet, you have used GIS. If you watched last night’s weather report, you viewed a geographic information system. GIS simply combines layers of information about a place, such as cloud cover and temperature, to better understand that place.
