GeoSpatial Science (GSS) technology learning tools capture, store, analyse, or visualize the characteristics and locations of real-world phenomena. Previous research literature shows us many examples of GSS technology learning tools being used in the classroom for promoting interest in STEM learning. Despite these examples, comparative studies of GSS technology learning tools versus traditional learning tools, such as Power Point presentations, are less prevalent within current research literature. Of those that do exist, they tend to just assess Geographic Information System GSS technology vs. traditional learning tools. Since other research literature also informs us that high school student’s choices to go into STEM-related fields at the undergraduate college level can be influenced while still in high school, this research assesses the use of a variety of GSS technology versus traditional learning tools at the secondary school level for inspiring current and future STEM learning. Furthermore, since GSS technology learning tools come in either passive or interactive varieties, this research also considers how this characteristic influences students’ inspiration for STEM learning.
