Indiana Space Grant Consortium
Begun: 2004
Purpose:
Promote sharing and use of public domain remotely sensed image data (aerial and satellite platforms) for research, education and applications.
Part of AmericaView
Funded through USGS (U.S. Geological Survey)
A bit of AmericaView history

5. Brief AmericaView History
1998: OhioView was pilot program; funded by NASA
Ohio Congressman Regula helped push the program
OhioView worked with the USGS to establish infrastructure to support routine acquisition, processing, and delivery of Landsat and other remotely sensed data to state user community
2000: Congress instructed USGS to begin implementing vision nationwide; AmericaView Program was born

6. AmericaView http://www.americaview.org/
Nationwide program focused on remote sensing image data and spatial technologies to support K-16 education, workforce development, technology transfer and applied research.
AmericaView (AV) Consortium comprised of 40 university-led, state-based consortia working together to build a nationwide network of state and local users.
Each state-view implements the programs that best fits the needs of the state.
AV supports many uses of remotely sensed data through education, outreach, research & data sharing among AmericaView members.
Promotes Earth Observation Day (April 8th this year) (
Changing to Earth Sciences Week (Oct 14 this fall)

7. INView - IndianaView Need identified by IndianaView Consortium:
education/outreach materials that use/highlight state geospatial data initiatives
geospatial curriculum materials for (IN) K-12 educators & students
Determined to address students in high school (Indiana)
Geography & History of the World
Advanced Placement Human Geography
Create common nomenclature for educators & students (glossary)
Presented the Project idea at 2012 GIS Conference
Themes obtained from GIS professionals and educators; preparing students for decision-making from a spatial perspective with latest technologies
Land use change
Water
Blog site:
Tutorials, lesson plans, inter-actives, glossary, IN Landsat imagery/datasets collection
Inter-actives have built-in assessment tools
