San Antonio College (San Antonio, TX 78212-4299)
Erik Anderson (Project Director: July 2019 to present)

A three-year faculty development project to incorporate geographic information system technology into college and middle school history courses.

San Antonio College proposes "San Anto History GO!": a humanities initiative that uses the ArcGIS Online platform to build location-based learning and augmented reality mobile applications to connect students and the community to marginalized historical places and histories in and around the San Antonio area. Supporting the NEH area of interest, “Protecting Our Cultural Heritage,” "San Anto History GO!" seeks to empower students at both the college and middle school levels to document, share and preserve the history of the spaces they inhabit, and which reflects their lives and their own community’s history.
