GIS - a new Tutor2U blog series

 GIS is a growth area, but one which many teachers are still unsure about.

I worked with Brendan Conway on the GI Pedagogy project, which has now concluded. Our resources are available on the hub.

Brendan has also teamed up with Tutor2U to produce a series of posts about GIS.

The first two are now up. A link to the first is here:

First in a series of blogposts about teaching with GIS, from our in-house expert @mildthing99 who is an advocate of making GIS 'part of furniture' in your classroom #everydayGIS https://t.co/wp2oSkmt7z

GI Pedagogy MOOC - check it out.

 

We are now coming to the final stage of the GI Pedagogy project.

The target audience is wide and you may be part of it...

The project’s outputs and events are aimed specifically at supporting educators (Horizontal Priority: Supporting Educators). 

This training will help teachers embed GIS within their curriculum. 

It will support them to feel confident in teaching GIS as a fundamental tool for modern geography, not as a superficial add-on to existing methods.

The training takes the form of a MOOC: an online course basically, with resources, videos and presentations.

Feel free to check it out.

Also feel free to follow us on Twitter @GIPedagogy.
