Geospatial Technologies Activities

A feature of the GoNorth! Curriculum and Activity Guide is access to geospatial technologies (GT) lessons that complement each module.

These supplementing activities are available for download on each Module page.

If you are not familiar with geospatial technologies such as Goggle Earth and GIS, you will find helpful movies on how to use these programs in the Techie Tucker section. We encourage you to use these lessons in your classroom as they are one more way to get students excited about learning!
