The MEC Educator's Pack contains geographic information system (GIS) software, data sets and lesson plans designed for educators who are interested in using GIS technology to explore global climate change issues. The package is available on a free, PC-compatible CD (request from the Web site provided), includes a free GIS software program called ArcExplorer by ESRI and comes with a user manual to help get you started. Also provided are two lesson plans that use ArcExplorer to view the data and produce a series of maps to study climate change predictions in the MEC region.
