| Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science (CSISS) | Link |
The CSISS Mission recognizes the growing significance of space, spatiality, location, and place in social science research. It seeks to develop unrestricted access to tools and perspectives that will advance the spatial analytic capabilities of researchers throughout the social sciences. CSISS was funded in 1999 with support from the National Science Foundation under its program to promote research infrastructure in the social and behavioral sciences. |

| Teaching Math and Computing Through Culture | Link |
Ron Eglash's materials are well-designed (Teaching Math/Computing through Culture). He barely uses the word "spatial" at all when he describes his work, but it's ENTIRELY spatially-based. As you go through the lessons you'll also find Java-based interactive applications too. This is a link to his TED talk on African fractals - http://www.ted.com/talks/ron_eglash_on_african_fractals.html. |

Envisioning a National Geospatial Technology Resource CenterThe primary goal of this project was to develop a vision and plan for a national geospatial technology resource center in order to facilitate the development of curriculum, network technical expertise, and serve as a clearinghouse for products and services that will meet the needs of students, educators, government, business, and industry across a wide spectrum of disciplines. This project formed a steering committee of leaders in geospatial education to research issues critical to industry and education. These issues included: workforce needs, geospatial core competencies, certification, curriculum, pedagogy, educational pathways (including articulation and internships), professional development, communication, geospatial awareness and diversity, globalization and regionalize, future trends, and the qualities of a successful ATE Center. |
