KS3/4 Geography - Using GIS
How can you make the most of Geographic Information Systems in your classroom?
Dr Gerard O'Sullivan, an advanced skills geography teacher from Homewood School in Tenterden, Kent, offers creative ideas, technical advice and teaching tips on how to work with this powerful tool.
From field trip to computer laboratory and classroom, and with some help from a GIS software professional, he provides a guide to the benefits of its use.
We also hear views on GIS from other members of the geography department, each with varying teaching and IT skills and experience.
