A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a powerful mapping tool that provides visual representation of data as it relates to geography. Students "see" the relationship between data and the world, increasing comprehension of complex concepts.

As a teacher, the use of a GIS in the classroom is invaluable.

Ability to quickly and easily analyze large sets of complex data
Visual representation of multifaceted data

My World GIS™ was designed specifically for education making it an ideal GIS tool for any classroom:

Over 50 included datasets install automatically
Drag and drop functionality simplifies analysis
Compare and analyze multiple datasets with a single spatial view
Link directly to graphics and documents from map
Import and map collected data

Explore global datasets

Map your own data

Create geospatial awareness

Map GPS data along with collected data points on aerial photos and topographic maps.

Students will easily see the relationship between local points of interest and how they relate on a global scale.

The GPS Position Sensor plugs directly into any PASPORT interface alongside other sensors providing position and velocity data. Spatial information for other measurements including latitude, longitude, altitude and speed are also recorded.

Here's what you need:

GPS Position Sensor (PS-2175)

The GPS Position sensor uses satellite triangulation to determine the sensor's position and velocity in outdoor environments. The highly sensitive receiver is able to track satellites even under tree canopies often found along rivers. All your data is automatically tied to its GPS location (latitude, longitude, and altitude).

Xplorer GLX (PS-2002)

Tie it all together with the Xplorer GLX, the award-winning portable graphing datalogger from PASCO. Collect, display and analyze your data right on the unit. Designed for effective use outdoors, the LCD display uses transflective technology for easy visibility even in bright sunlight conditions.

My World GIS

Open your data in My World GIS, and you have the option to automatically connect and download maps and satellite photos from TerraServer USA. Mapping your collected data has never been this simple. You also have the option to load maps and images from many other sources. This GIS is designed for use in education, featuring drag-and-drop simplicity.
