GIS experts in school curriculum can foster students' understanding of GIS and its real-world applications
Geographical information systems (GIS) are technological frameworks to analyze spatial and geographical data and have become ubiquitous in our personal lives. For example, map applications rely on GIS to update vehicle information in real time. GIS applications have widespread use in a variety of professional fields as well, from urban planning to intelligence agencies. Thus, GIS has become increasingly relevant for students to learn in geography classrooms.
