US Community Atlas project
The US Community Atlas project is an opportunity for classes in grades K-12
to put together a group project about their community, using HTML documents
and GIF or JPG maps, and post this project on the web. Students must define
the bounds of "their community" and prepare either a general profile or
focused look at a local conservation issue (great for coordinating with
science classes and the theme of this year's Geography Awareness Week).
Projects must include 1000-2500 words of analysis, and 10-20 maps. The maps
can be produced using either GIS software (such as freely available
ArcVoyager Special Edition) or online mapping engines. Schools submitting
complete entries will earn free GIS software from ESRI.
Projects can be submitted starting August 15, 2000. Full details, including
a model project from last year, plus suggestions for online mapping sites
and training options for teachers, are available at:
