WyomingView: No-Cost Remotely Sensed Data for Geographic Education
Sivanpillai, Ramesh; Driese, Kenneth L.
Journal of Geography, v107 n4-5 p154-160 Jul 2008
Learning enhanced by visual examples and remotely sensed imagery is a valuable classroom resource for teaching students geographic concepts in a meaningful context. Barriers to the use of imagery include difficulty finding appropriate imagery and the cost of moderate resolution satellite imagery. A program in Wyoming called WyomingView and analogous programs in other states are providing no-cost, preprocessed satellite imagery delivered over the Internet that can help teachers better communicate geospatial knowledge to their students. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
