This tutorial was expanded and adapted from Thomas, R.. (2008). In Time and Place, "Dust Bowl." Retrieved October 5, 2010, from In Time and Place: http://www.intimeandplace.org/Dust%20Bowl/index.html. Thomas' focus is in teaching GIS skills. Many humanities and social sciences instructors may want to use these excellent resources, but feel that teaching GIS to students is outside the scope of their curriculum. This ArcGIS Explorer Desktop adaptation of the Dust Bowl unit is meant to aid instructors who do not have access to ArcGIS software or who might not have the time to teach GIS skills in the classroom. All original files (shapefiles, raster files, and ArcMap files) on which the layer files for this tutorial were based can be found under the link for the Dust Bowl GIS files at the original site. Other tutorials using GIS for American History, including units on The Great Migration, Japanese Internment during World War II, and others can be found at In Time and Place.org. |
