Abstract
As Geoweb is continuously developing, today it is possible for the public to utilize geospatial information technology, whereas only a few experts could apply this technology in the past. The examples that utilize the geospatial information technology creatively in the field of education have been increasing. Google, USGS and NASA, etc. presented various strategies to attract participation from people as they construct the related web-sites and suggest practical examples so that the existing spatial data in public institutions can be utilized in the field of education. In this study, we presented the strategies that converged education and exploratory learning can be vitalized on the primary, middle and high schools by using geospatial information technology. We took a literature review of researches that geospatial information technology had applied in the field of education according to the changes of schools' environments, analyzed internal and foreign web-sites which applied geospatial information technology to the field of education, and finally presented the strategies for application of geospatial information technology in the field of education. The strategies we presented are divided into four parts: 1) construction of course modules, 2) construction of educational database based on geospatial information technology, 3) construction of authoring environments for course modules, and 4) provision of supporting services for vitalizing the education based on geospatial information technology.
