This class is a fast approach to both GIS and GPS for 3 - 16 formal and non-formal educators who want a direct approach to using GIS, GPS and its related resources with their students in the classroom. Teachers will learn what GIS and GPS are about, why it is important in education, and ways of implementing this technology into their school curriculum. The first part of the class will provide teachers with basic GIS knowledge and how to work with free ArcExplorer software in the classroom. Hands-on activities, GIS software and GIS data will be provided - (total set of TIGER data by county for your state) - which they can use in the classroom. The second part of the class will provide teachers with the basic concepts of GPS, how to use the GPS unit, collect data and then use the results with a GIS application. No prior GIS or GPS experience is necessary; however, the following computer skills are suggested. Making folders, moving files from the CD to a specific folder, and navigating folder structure. Helpful but not required: experience using Microsoft Excel. We are now using Garmin GPS 60 units in all our classes! |
