New Google Earth stuff...

Coming over the next few days, some new posts which are related to a course I'm leading for the GA twice in the next month...

Leicester is the first date next Thursday...
I'm updating materials to make sure it's as up to date as possible and has some new ideas from my teaching...

I'm also going to be demonstrating ArcGIS Online.
I'll refer to Digimap for Schools
I'll have QGIS with me on a laptop too...

If you can't be there, there are other other courses running - contact Lucy Oxley at the GA and ask here where they are, and request one near you...

See some of you next week

GA Google Earth Courses

Good news earlier this week that it seems the remaining GA Google Earth courses are likely to be running in 2014. The first is in January in Leicester.
One of my jobs over Christmas will be to refresh those courses, and add in any new findings since the last time they ran.
I also need to refresh my memory of ArcGIS Online and how to use this tool in the classroom...

Look forward to seeing some of you there...

GA course postponed...

Apologies for those hoping to meet up with me in a month or so in London for the first of the year's Google Earth and Free GIS courses. The first course has not recruited enough delegates to go ahead, so will be cancelled - more dates available later in the year - the other dates that are available are included on this poster here:


See you in Leicester in January perhaps ?

GA Course next week...

Just preparing materials for next week's Google Earth and free GIS course for the Geographical Association, which is taking place in Birmingham.

I shall be referring to this blog. Delegates have all had access to a DROPBOX of materials.
There's been quite a lot of activity since last time I ran the course.
