Are you ready to transform your educational environment?

I’m Barbaree Duke. I believe in the power of GIS in educational settings to transform how we see curricular content. Geospatial Technologies can transform how you view the world. Think about incorporating why and where into what you teach. Consider how location and analysis can give students experiences that connect content and the real world. Experiment with map and data stories to encourage deeper student engagement in any classroom setting. Maps are cool and so are the lessons they can teach us. How are you teaching students to think?

I’m a teacher, author, editor, producer, volunteer, dog mom, and geospatial crusader.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Baylor University and taught in public schools for 15 years in TX, AL and NC.  In addition to numerous articles, lessons, and learning experiences, I authored three books on integrating mapping and geography technology into regular classroom settings. My hands-on, realistic approach to education gives teachers and students a comfortable place to learn while offering fresh, practical ideas to improve student engagement.
