GIS in Education

  • Geomatics for High School Curriculum
    This Web Site had been developed as a cooperative project with support and input from the federal government, private industry and high school teachers. The objective of the project was to develop a series of lessons suited for the new grade 9 curriculum in Ontario that could be distributed over the Internet. The lessons are designed to provide the resources and data necessary to explore ten grade 9 geography topics using Canada's ecozones as a common base. As well as resource and background information each lesson details a GIS exercise and provides the data required to run it. The lessons also provide the users with links to other data and information sites that can be accessed through the Internet.
