Abstract
The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in secondary education around the world is diverse, yet is marked by common challenges and benefits. In this chapter, we identify those challenges and benefits, discuss technological, societal, and educational trends that will impact the future of GIS in education, and make recommendations that we believe can hasten the positive impact GIS can have on education and society.
