What program out there lets you gather demographic data from individual regions in the United States and Canada? What program out there supports Global Positioning System Support? What program out there lets you plot data? And, what program lets you locate ZIP Code data and other geographic data all over the U.S.?
When I saw this program demonstrated by Alan Gurski of Microsoft at a Big Day program, I simply said I've got to look at this program? It should be good for economics, geography, U.S. History, civics, and others. Plenty of others. Gurski was great with the demo and I sat therre fascinated.
I installed the program on a 400 mhz machine with 128 megs of RAM. It worked fine in Windows 98 and my monitor performed well. Wow!
For all you teachers who can used this program, I say buy it. Especially for geography and economics teachers. Also upper elementary and middle school social studies teachers. There are numerous things you can teach your kids. Map skills, mathematics calculations, data gathering, elevation, latitude and longitude, etc. It's great!
The graphics are great. The distances are accurately presented. And the possibilities for education are immeasurable. Teachers this is also good for plotting vacation trips. Or, field trips...
