Geospatial Technologies
are Coming to Illinois Schools

Have you heard the term “Geospatial Technologies” surfacing across Illinois yet? If you haven’t, you will be hearing about it soon across the educational technology pipelines of Illinois. As educators and consultants in these areas, we are actively involved with this plan for Illinois’ educational future. It is just a matter of time before these tools are commonplace with students. Find out more about these spatial tools at the April ILGISA conference. The topics will include:

GPS – A Powerful Hands-On Tool for Students in the 21st Century

Discover the rapidly development of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) as a new and essential tool for student learning in the 21st Century. Learn how this technology provides students with a powerful tool for exploring everything from the world to their backyard. See the power of mapping GPS data as a tool for students to investigate the world around them.

GIS – One of the Best Kept Secrets in Technology for the 21st Century

Discover the rapidly growing benefits of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) as a new and essential tool for student learning in the 21st Century. GIS engages students in active hands-on learning, foster critical thinking, involve students in investigations of relevant real-issues, employ problem based learning, and advance the technology literacy, goals of the educational community.


Presented by: Edward Gorny, Nancy Gorny, Denis Kazelas, Patty Zriny and Carol Przyzycki with the "GIS2GPS Team" located on the web at http://www.gis2gps.com.
