The technology of satellite imagery and remote sensing adds a new dimension to teaching and learning about maps with elementary school children. Just a click of the mouse brings into view some images of the world that could only be imagined a generation ago. Close-up aerial pictures of the school and neighborhood quickly catch the interest of young children and nurture their sense of wonder about where things are and how they got there. At first thought, aerial imagery may seem too complicated to use as a teaching tool for mapping in elementary school. Yet aerial imagery is already a part of the pop culture. This article discusses a geography unit of study that uses aerial imagery and art to increase geographic literacy among second-grade students in four elementary schools in Texas. The lessons can specifically address four Texas state learning standards for second-grade essential knowledge and skills: direction, distance, location, and symbols. Students are expected to be able to determine direction, measure distances, find locations, identify map symbols, understand characteristics of places, and describe ways in which people have modified the environment.
