That being said, I do try to make the occasional post worth while. In this case, I wanted to toss the info out there that I've been recording intro to GIS (and GISci) lectures for USU and putting them up on YouTube. Anyone is welcome to use, review, or comment on the lectures.
I would suggest using Introductory Geographic Information Systems by Jensen and Jensen as a companion text for the lectures. I've been searching for a satisfactory GIS text for years and finally feel like the Jensen (father and son team) have done a good job at putting a reasonably solid text together. There are a few things I would change, but I'm not going to write my own book, so this will do very well.
The lectures are generally in 10 minute segments and I've tried to provide the proper citations to any outside source material. However, if you note something of your creation that I didn't cite properly, please let me know and I will fix as soon as possible.
You can find all of the videos on my YouTube account. I've embedded the first two below for you to take a look at and make sure they are worth your time and effort to review/use the others.
Again, please comment. I look forward to fixing my mistakes (of which I'm sure there are plenty) and making the clips better through time. Each 10 minute segment takes about two to three hours to produce (recording, editing, uploading, etc.).
