In my last post, Modeling the Bonneville Landslide, I brainstormed some of the ways that Depiction could be used in secondary education. That's fine and good, but Depiction is already being used in higher education all over the country (and beyond).

We've got a new press release out today that highlights some of the ways professors are integrating Depiction's interactive maps and simulation into their curriculum. And why not? After all, Depiction costs less than most college textbooks.

Here's what Dr. Timothy Hare, an anthropology professor at Morehead State University, has to say about Depiction:

"Depiction is the first software tool I've found that leverages the wealth of online geographic data while also offering amazing power and ease of use."

You may be thinking "Wait, an anthropology professor? What does he have to do with maps?" But geography, and thus maps, are a huge piece of that field. Dr. Hare teaches GIS and regional analysis classes, and that's where he's going to be using Depiction.

We've also put up a new page, focused on education, where you'll always be able to find the latest information about how educators are making use of Depiction. If you're using Depiction in an educational setting, let us know!
