3. INView/GENI Collaborative Efforts
Response to opportunity provided by IndianaView (USGS/AmericaView)
Need identified by IndianaView Consortium:
education/outreach materials that use/highlight state geospatial data initiatives
geospatial curriculum materials for (IN) K-12 educators & students
Determined to address students in high school (1st phase) and middle school (2nd phase) (Indiana)
Geography & History of the World and Advanced Placement Human Geography (high school courses)
Focus on natural hazards for middle school
Create common nomenclature for educators & students (glossary)
Presented the Project idea at 2012 GIS Conference
High School themes obtained from you and your colleagues; preparing students for decision-making from a spatial perspective with latest technologies: Land Use Change, Water
