14. Tutorials http://space.hsv.usra.edu/TRESTE/mannel.html GPS
Download data and create a map
3D video creation
Google Earth
Teaching Box Activities (Mannel and Tilgner 2007)
How to Use a Handheld GPS Devise Students will be introduced to handheld GPS units and their use. A completion exercise is included to familiarize students with their GPS unit.
GIS on the Internet Students will explore different GIS applications on the internet including locating local wildfires, exploring public lands, planning a trip, finding an address, and geocaching.
Introduction to Google Earth Students will install the free software called Google Earth and create a virtual flyover.
GIS, GPS and Data Download A tutorial on using ArcGIS to create a map. Students will be guided on how to download an aerial photo, create a map, and overlay GPS points. This tutorial is a little more advanced than the other three, partly, because it combines several aspects of GIS. GIS allows the user to make maps on the computer and to analyze them. The majority of GIS users work with ArcGIS mapping software by ESRI. GPS points are locations that are often displayed on maps.
