I'd like to engage in a conversation about geospatial literacy.

I'm wondering if there are Geospatial Literacy Standards or GIS Literacy
Standards. And ... in your opinion (and practice) is there a difference
between GIS literacy and geospatial literacy. Does all geospatial
literacy involve teaching users GIS software or is there something else?
How do you incorporate geospatial literacy into single session
presentations to non-GIS users?

Thoughts? References to good articles? Other questions?
