2004 EdUC Proceedings Abstract
 The Geographic Literate Student: The Arizona Electronic Atlas Experiment Track: Teaching with GIS Author(s): Jeanne Pfander, Christine Kollen, Louise Greenfield The Arizona Electronic Atlas is an interactive Web-based state atlas that allows users to create and print or download maps and data. It has been developed by the University of Arizona Library with contributions from campus experts and partners at the Arizona State Cartographer's Office, the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records, the Arizona Geographic Information Council and Arizona State University. This presentation focuses on the integration of the Atlas into the university classroom. Issues that will be explored include involvement of faculty in identifying geographic literacy goals for their students and the application of the Atlas to support problem-based learning.
