Computer Mapping is engaging
Geovisualizations enhance geographic literacy
•Static; most diverse for standards•Dynamic; more interesting and convey complex concepts or complicated data sets•Mapping Software;more engaging, more active l ilearning•Serious Game; highest appeal for students, most ti i t t t d t i d ti l ttitime investment to adapt in educational setting
