This 12-step pathway will help you enrich your AP Human Geography (APHG) instruction with dynamic and rich web maps made with Geotechnologies (which include Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and web mapping). When you have completed this pathway, you will:
(1) Understand what Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is and how it is used in society.
(2) Understand how and why GIS can be used in teaching AP Human Geography (APHG).
(3) Know how to use web-based GIS (ArcGIS Online) to examine spatial relationships, online maps, and to create your own maps from local to global scales that support the 7 themes of APHG.
(4) Understand where to go for further exploration in the educational application of geotechnologies.
