I teach 7th grade geography to at-risk students who need a concrete way in which to understand geography. By incorporating geographic information system technology(GIS) and a handheld global positioning system (GPS) receiver into the geography lessons, I can make the information more relevant to them. For anyone trying to evaluate information, the best way to view it is on a map. Not just any map—intelligent digital maps made possible by geographic information system (GIS) technology. Everyone, including people who have never used maps to analyze data, is finding that maps make processing information much easier and more effective. GIS is computer software that links geographic information (where things are) with descriptive information (what things are). Unlike a flat paper map, where "what you see is what you get," a GIS can present many layers of different information.
