ArcGIS
Mining Matters now offers our first learning
resource for geographic information system (GIS) software. Partnering with
ESRI Canada, we have adapted four hands-on activities from out
senior curriculum resource, Discovering Diamonds, into a multi-part
lesson that teaches high school students the use of ArcGIS, ESRI’s suite of GIS
software products.
The activity manual, master answer pages, and all data files are free to
download.
