First Round: 2003
• 64 lessons for grades 5 through 12 were developed
Spatial?? GIS??
• Institute for the Application of Geospatial Technology (IAGT)– Focus on the integration of GIS into
education environments
• IAGT’s School Power Naturally Project– Developing Wind and Solar lessons using Geographic
Information Systems (GIS)– Lessons focused for grades 7-10 – Use existing Performance Data (solar only)
• Four GIS Lessons:1. Energy Overview
What is our current Energy Consumption as a nation?
2. Solar What is the solar potential for my school and home?
3. WindWhat are characteristics of existing wind farms?What wind resources are in your community?
• Two formats to conduct the lessons:
Web-Based Exercises• ESRI ArcGIS Server
– Data stored in a File Geodatabase
– 3 Services (mxd’s) to allow the layering and functionality wanted
– ESRI Online Background Map & Imagery
Web-Based Exercises
• ESRI ArcGIS Server Caching– All raster data was cached– Significant improvement in response time– 15 Scale Levels for each layer– Millions of PNG images created– Approx. 4 Gb of disk space for each layer
