Brave New World: Citizenship in Geospatially Enriched Environments

Citizenship education has a long and varied history in the United States; geographers have played a relatively minor role in its development through the social studies. This paper reviews citizenship education, geography’s contribution to it, and suggests ways geography educators can take a more vibrant and important role in this vital task through geospatial technologies, mapping, and spatial thinking.
