Thinking about using GIS with non GIS users...

Here is some info and a link to my latest publication on using: GIS in the Composition Classroom.  Special thanks to Patricia, Blake, and Palak in the Clemson GIS Lab for all of their knowledge and support. Contact them if you want to learn more about GIS and the many opportunities for to learning data visualization. 

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allow the user to visualize and display geographic data. This web project details my implementation of Esri Survey 1-2-3 and Esri ARC GIS (a proprietary GIS system offered through the Esri Company) in a FYC (first-year composition classroom). The class used GIS to build smart maps and web applications for visualizing and analyzing data. The project offered a challenge to students to collect and analyze geographic data in order to tell stories and formulate arguments linking space, place, time, and rhetoric. Visualizing this collected data allows the researcher to consider the rhetorical implications of space and place. I argue that by implementing this methodology, my students come to know rhetorics as a grammar for our relationality in space and place at a given time.

​Inside this webtext, you will find an example of FYC GIS praxis that includes theory, method, student data collection tools, smart maps, Story Map applications, and student feedback. In terms of getting around, use the navigation tabs at the top and bottom of each page to move from one section to the next, or return to the "Map" to follow another route through the webtext. It is my hope that this GIS praxis serves as a guide for classrooms seeking to examine how social spaces are produced and that this webtext offers an example of how students might use tools to both question and attend to the spaces and places in which they inhabit.

Clemson Immersive Space

I made a podcast for this blog - first time ever using Adobe Audition. No, it's not perfect, but I'll only get better with practice. I interviewed Clemson Virtual Reality President Tom Birdsong, who gave me the skinny on the Clemson Immersive Space. You can find the podcast link Here. 

Making podcasts is easy. All you need is an interesting person, a line of questions, a mic borrowed from the library, and a computer to record the content. In my next blog, I'll show you how to make a podcast in Adobe Audition so you can spread the good word of citizen science.
