GIS Earth Science Now Enrolling for Summer!
A new
science course has been added to the Online Education Program for
this summer. This course will be unique in that it will allow students
to explore Earth Science concepts using live data from the field
utilizing the tool of GIS. Students will correspond with teachers
on a field experience in Australia exploring the continent's unique
geology and ecosystems. Next summer, students will have the opportunity
to attend a similar field experience in Australia. Find out more
by viewing the course description, or you may contact Mrs. Christine
Voigt at cvoigt@bdhs.org, if you have any questions.
Course Description:
252 GIS Earth Science
This online summer course will use real world
data and powerful, state-of-the-art GIS software to investigate a
wide variety of topics in the Earth Sciences. Scientists use GIS
technology as a tool for organizing, visualizing, and analyzing scientific
data. This real-world data provides new insights into the traditional
concepts taught in the Earth Science classroom, and motivates students
to discover key scientific concepts.
Students enrolled in the summer
program will be corresponding with teachers in Australia analyzing
live data from the field. This unique experience will provide them
with a different perspective than the traditional classroom approach.
Next summer students will have the opportunity to attend a similar
field experience in Australia.
No previous GIS experience is necessary.

to future graduates, “Your only job, your only requirement
at this point in your life, is to be a good student, so do it well”.
