Today,
the National Geographic Society and other organizations are trying to
spread the word on how GIS technology can make a difference in our
world. The official website posts information about GIS Day events
all over the world... and also offers some lessons, book suggestions,
and links to web-based activities for kids. Check it out!
- Many kids, families, and classrooms are using GPS technology to do cool things such as geocaching. Here are five fun ways to use GPS.
- Many of us are used to using computers and smart phones for driving directions and maps, but have you ever used iMap Builder to create flash maps on your computer?
- Also, Hexographer is map-making software that allows users to create hex-style maps, town maps, battlemaps, and other maps for role-playing games, board games, or wargames. There is a free version!
