Geography Awareness Week Update
Bring Asia to life in the classroom. Take a virtual journey to Asia and see how GIS technology opens doors of understanding to the vast and complicated Asian continent by watching Layers of Asia - A GIS Journey Through Our World. Visit India to see how geography and climate have influenced history, visit the Himalayas to see how mountain climbers use GIS to plan routes, and visit China to see how mega cities will emerge in the 21st century.
ESRI produced the video in support of National Geographic Society Educational Foundation's Geography Awareness Week. ESRI is a coalition member of National Geographic's My Wonderful World geographic education initiative.
Get your students involved with GIS-based lessons that cover topics such as Asia's diverse population, extreme climates, and beautiful land masses.
