Often, when teaching about historical events, there is an over-emphasis on chronology without strong enough consideration given to geography. “GIS in the Humanities Classroom” will teach participants how to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools to develop a deeper understanding of humanities subjects. The use of geospatial technologies allows interactions of place, space, time, and scale to be more obvious, allowing students to develop the ability to answer not only “where?” but “why there?”
