Teaching with Geographic Information Systems
A geographic information system (GIS) is a conceptualized framework that can capture and analyze spatial and geographic data. GIS applications are computer-based systems that enable users to create, store, and edit spatial and non-spatial data, analyze the spatial information output, and visually share these results via maps.
