With the popularity of GIS and other geospatial mapping tools these days, it can be hard to keep track of all of their innovative applications. eSchool News, a print and online news service that covers the use of technology in K-12 and higher education, has compiled GIS and Geographic Inquiry, a collection of its news stories, best practices, and links related to “geospatial learning” in the classroom.

With a free subscription, teachers and others interested in introducing GIS to youth can access this wide range of information on geospatial education programs. Articles on best practices and geography applications are followed by an extensive list of additional resources.

A few selected headlines from the collection:

* Geography studies flying high in Montana schools
* Students create 'biomaps' using sophisticated GIS software
* GIS technology aids school planning

Each article, in turn, has a set of links at the end for further information.
