The goals of the Educational Applications of Geographic Information Systems (EdGIS) Conference were to: showcase current applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and other mapping software in pre-college education; develop a better understanding of the current state of the art in both GIS software and related curriculum development; prepare recommendations for further research and development in GIS; and promote public awareness and support for the educational uses of mapping software. Presentations include: (1) "An Introduction to GIS in Education" (Daniel Barstow); (2) "The Charge from the National Science Foundation" (Gerhard Salinger); (3) "Welcome from the National Geographic Society" (George Peterson); (4) "GIS in Education: A Vision for the Future" (Barbara Buttenfield); (5) "Student as Scientist in the Global Laboratory" (Robert Tinker); (6) "GIS State of the Art" (Michael Goodchild); (7) "National Science Education Standards" (Angelo Collins); (8) "National Geography Education Standards" (Sarah Bednarz); (9) "Cognitive Apprenticeship and GIS" (Robert Lima); (10) "Educational Applications of GIS: A Developmental Psychologist's Perspective" (Lynn Liben); (11) "A Convergence of Themes in Educational Reform" (Richard Audet); (12) "NCGIA Secondary Education Project" (Stephen Palladino); (13) "GIS in a Geosciences Curriculum" (Kathryn Keranen); (14) "Urban Environmental Education in Detroit" (Randall Raymond); (15) "National Student Weather Network" (Donald La Salle); (16) "GIS and Environmental Education" (Reinhold Friebertshauser); (17) "Monarch Butterfly Migration Student Investigations" (Steve Case and Brad Williamson); (18) "Exploring Student Problem-Solving Strategies with GIS" (Richard Audet); (19) "ESRI's Educational Initiatives" (Charlie Fitzpatrick); (20) "Kids, Satellites, and Ground Truth" (Barrett Rock); (21) "GeoSphere Project" (Tom Van Sant); (22) "Satellite and Surface-based Observations of Atmospheric Aerosols" (Rudolf Husar); (23) "ESRI Arc View" (Charlie Fitzpatrick); (24) "IDRISI" (John Auble and Michele Fulk); (25) "GEOSCOPE: The Encyclopedia of Planetary Changes" (Luc Michaud); (26) "GAIA Software" (Suzanne Meyer); (27) "Alice Network Software" (Alan Feldman); (28) "Accu-Weather Forecaster" (Daniel Barstow); (29) "National Geographic Kids Network" (Monica Bradsher); (30) "EOSAT: Remote Sensing and GIS" (Anthony Shupin); and (31) "SimCity 2000" (Daniel Barstow).
