I have written over 400 essays on GIS in education over the past few years, and in an effort to make these searchable, I have created an index of these, accessible here. The topics range from strategies to teach GIS in different disciplines and educational levels, to giving presentations on GIS for the general public, to new GIS tools to investigate specific topics, to curricula and courses, educational GIS research, and much more, but have a common theme of fostering and supporting GIS in education, worldwide.  I hope this index is helpful to you in your work.

About the Author
I believe that spatial thinking can transform education and society through the application of Geographic Information Systems for instruction, research, administration, and policy. I hold 3 degrees in Geography, have served at NOAA, the US Census Bureau, and USGS as a cartographer and geographer, and teach a variety of F2F (Face to Face) (including T3G) and online courses. I have authored a variety of books and textbooks about the environment, STEM, GIS, and education. These include "Interpreting Our World", "Essentials of the Environment", "Tribal GIS", "The GIS Guide to Public Domain Data", "International Perspectives on Teaching and Learning with GIS In Secondary Education", "Spatial Mathematics" and others. I write for 2 blogs, 2 monthly podcasts, and a variety of journals, and have created over 5,000 videos on the Our Earth YouTube channel. Yet, as time passes, the more I realize my own limitations and that this is a lifelong learning endeavor and thus I actively seek mentors and collaborators.
