Abstract

Educators have a crucial role in fostering awareness and skills around the ethical use of locational information. In an age with cloud-based geographic information systems tools and open data at one's fingertips, everyone is a potential mapmaker. This has enormous ethical implications. It can be challenging as an educator to decide what ethical topics to teach, which examples to cover, what ethical responsibilities individuals have, and demonstrating how to apply or practice these responsibilities in daily life and in the workforce inside or outside academia. Through case studies and hands-on activities, this chapter investigates and demonstrates effective strategies, data sets, tools, multimedia, and methods for teaching ethics in effective and engaging ways in any discipline using location information.
