ABSTRACT: Instruction in remote sensing has long been an important part of the curricula in many geography departments. A wide range of students, from various academic disciplines, routinely participate in course offerings. The diversity of technical backgrounds in this student body exacerbates the problem of providing effective instruction, especially in courses requiring the use of computers and in departments with limited resources. Teaching to the "lowest common denominator" (i.e., those with minimal or no computer backgrounds) runs the risk of alienating those with greater expertise. Conversely, gearing instructional materials and focus toward more technically sophisticated students may frustrate others. This paper highlights a curricular approach for remote sensing instruction which accommodates all levels of technical expertise through the use of inexpensive microcomputer-based technology.

Go to: www.cas.usf.edu/GlobalResearch/ Santo Domingo, one of the program sites, is located on the south coast of the Dominican Republic. It is the oldest city in the New World, where the settlement of all the Americas began. Here, the first cathedral, hospital and university of the Americas were founded. Multicultural Santo Domingo boasts many historical sites and monuments, and offers dozens of museums celebrating aspects of Dominican life from its beginning to present. Throughout its history, the Dominican Republic has been ruled under different governments which has led to turbulent times. Although the country has experienced economic growth, and enjoys free public education and medical care, there is a wide gap between the rich and poor. Santo Domingo, in particular, and the Dominican Republic as a whole are rapidly changing, making this an excellent location in which to study the multidimensional phenomenon of globalization.

Insights from the Field Geography: It's More than Just a Place Lesson Title Description/ Objectives Introduction The Unit at a Glance This geography unit is standards-based and divided into four separate modules. All modules revisit, from a different vantage point, the major theme of "where we live influences how we live." Module One Where We Live Influences How We Live By focusing on life in the United States as compared with life in the Dominican Republic, students will begin to explore the essential question: How does where we live influence how we live? Students will locate the Dominican Republic on a map and examine primary source data on the Dominican Republic in the form of written observations about geography and climate from Peace Corps Volunteers who have served there. Module Two Understanding Demographics Students will see that demographic information can help answer the question: How does where we live influence how we live? from the vantage point of data. Students will compare demographic information from the United States and the Dominican Republic. They will also examine the strengths and limitations of data as an information source about a country and its people. Module Three Beyond Demographics This module is designed to help students see that each new information source that is used provides another and more complete picture of a country.
