In an article in*Directions Magazine,*I describe five forces catapulting geography onto the world stage. *These forces, including geo-awareness, geo-enablement, geotechnologies, citizen science, and storytelling, is transforming the audience for geography and the way geography is taught and perceived. *In the article, after I describe each of these forces and why they matter, I define what I consider to be the three legs of the “geoliteracy stool” – content knowledge, skills, and the geographic perspective. *I then ask, “Is geoliteracy becoming increasingly valued? *What role can and should teaching and learning with GIS play in geoliteracy? *How can the community seize the opportunity that these five forces represent to foster geoliteracy and promote the use of GIS and spatial thinking at all levels of education?”
