GEOMATICS FOR HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM

ENTER >

Geography of Canada mapped by Ecozones

This Web Site had been developed as a cooperative project with support and input from the federal government, private industry and high school teachers. The objective of the project was to develop a series of modules suited for the new grade 9 curriculum in Ontario that could be distributed over the Internet. The modules are designed to provide the resources and data necessary to explore ten grade 9 geography topics using Canada's ecozones as a common base. As well as resource and background information each module details a GIS exercise and provides the data required to run it. The modules also provide the users with links to other data and information sites that can be accessed through the Internet.

These modules are designed to be a dynamic resource for teaching and learning Canadian geography, and expose students to leading-edge technology that will introduce them to GIS and geomatics on the Internet.
