Greetings Everyone: In case you encounter people in your travels who are seeking evidence for why GIS technology and methods are effective in instruction, especially in science education from the K-12 to university and informal education levels, a new book has been published by a well-respected group of researchers with ample evidence and best practices. Tom Baker and I on the Esri education team wrote a chapter in it: *Teaching Science and Investigating Environmental Issues with Geospatial Technology: Designing Effective Professional Development for Teachers, *by MaKinster, Trautmann, and Barnett It is listed here at Springer: http://www.springer.com/education+%26+language/science+education/book/978-90-481-3930-9 … and here at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Teaching-Investigating-Environmental-Geospatial-Technology/dp/9048139309/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1386815967&sr=1-1&keywords=makinster+gis I hope it helps to advance GIS throughout education!
