Fish Gotta Swim: Marine GIS and Geography
Instruction
GIS is becoming an increasingly important tool for studying, analyzing, and
managing marine environments. Through intensive summer workshops, the Marine
Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center in Monterey, CA, offers
opportunities for educators to combine GIS technology with marine science
applications, and encourages the transfer of these ideas and strategies to a
classroom setting. Using sample lessons and examples of student work, this
session will illustrate how the MATE program can be adapted to address
geography standards and objectives while introducing learners to
sophisticated concepts of oceanography and marine science. Participants will
receive a CD with lesson plans, assessment rubrics, PowerPoint presentations
and ArcReader documents.
