What is GIS? GIS or Geographic Information System software are powerful tools for K-12 geography and place-based education. Spatial information technologies refer to various tools that inventory, assess, and analyze geographic information in a digital environment. Basically, a geographic information system (GIS) allows the computer to "think" it is a map - a map with the ability to analyze geographic information and tell its users about any part of the world. Our GIS module focuses on Fort Collins and surrounding areas.
