The Area III Learning Technology Center (LTC) hosted a four-day course for grades 5-12 math and/or science teachers in GIS (Geographical Information System) and GPS (Global Positioning System) technologies and their application in the classroom. The course provided teachers with information about GIS and GPS, why it is important in education, and ways of implementing this technology into the school curriculum. The first part of the class provided teachers with basic GIS knowledge and how to work with ArcVoyager in the classroom. Hands-on activities, GIS software and GIS data was provided. The second part of the class provided teachers with the basic concepts of GPS, how to use the GPS unit, collect data and then use the results with a GIS application. The classes lasted four days and all involved had a great time learning these new tools. In this class, we did everything in detail as related to GIS and GPS. The teachers learned how to create maps from their local county data, collect GPS data. download GPS data as well as map it on the maps they created. Here are some of the pictures that were taken during the training session. Some of the pictures are the actual GPS points teachers selected to map. The weather was great and the teachers enjoyed the fieldwork. Click on any picture for a larger image of the grounds, local town pictures and the teachers hard at work learning these new technologies.
