ABSTRACT
AP Human Geography students need to develop an understanding of what it means to examine the world around them from a geographic perspective. Focusing attention on geography's concern with spatial relationships, place characteristics, and geographic context helps student appreciate the nature of the discipline and the insights it offers. These core geographic concerns should be woven into discussions of the various topics covered in AP Human Geography. Drawing on GIS and related geospatial technologies can facilitate that effort—demonstrating the power and potential of geographical modes of thinking and analysis.
