GEO 1500 OUR SPATIAL WORLD
With the continual advancement of location - tracking smart phones, on-line mapping tools and navigation systems, it is clear that we are living in an increasingly spatial world. This course will combine the exploration of a variety of spatial technologies - ranging from GPS to Google Earth to Geographic Information Systems - with an on-going discussion of how these spatial technologies are changing the way we interact with each other and with the broader world. The course will involve hands-on exercises and readings in order to give the student an introductory level understanding of spatial technologies and a deeper understanding of our increasingly connected world.
