Abstract

This chapter examines the roles spatial and geospatial thinking and geospatial technologies may play in citizenship education in the United States in the first decades of the 21st century, a time of uncertainty, disruption, and rapid change. Geospatial technologies not only influence our ways of thinking but also affect the relationships people have with each other and with the world in which they live. Geography has historically played a small but important role in citizenship education in the United States. The notion of citizenship has been important in the United States throughout its history. The geography has played a role in serving visions of citizenship education in the United States and is now involved in developing personally responsible citizens through service learning. As interest in citizenship has grown, concern about young Americans' understanding of core ideas and principles related to civics has arisen.
