Creating values and knowledge for the future (Dewey, et al, 1995) requires quantification of landscape flows and processes (Diaz, 1996) which in turn require students trained on current equipment (Congalton and Green, 1992). In meeting the needs of today's students, we have adapted GIS/GPS into our six forest technology courses: 1) Forestry Software Applications 2) Forest Surveying, 3) Advanced Forest Measurements, 4) Forest Management, 5) Silviculture, and 6) Forest Measurements and Surveying Field Practices. The adaptation of GIS/GPS into the entire forest technology curriculum has provided a tool for students to manage natural resources in a responsible manner.Learner-based instruction is the focus on each course with extensive field experiences where students integrate their knowledge implementing the use of technology. All new curriculum and course materials are distributed conventionally and are available on the web.

为未来创造价值和知识（Dewey等人，1995年）需要对景观流和过程进行量化（迪亚兹，1996年），这反过来又需要对学生进行现有设备的培训（Congalton和绿色，1992年）。 为了满足当今学生的需求，我们将GIS/GPS融入了我们的六门森林技术课程：1）林业软件应用2）森林测量，3）高级森林测量，4）森林管理，5）造林学，6）森林测量和测量现场实践。 将地理信息系统/全球定位系统应用于整个森林技术课程，为学生提供了一个以负责任的方式管理自然资源的工具，以学习者为基础的教学是每门课程的重点，有广泛的实地经验，学生可以将他们的知识结合起来，运用技术。 所有新的课程和教材都按常规分发，并可在网上查阅。
