This CPD event is for school teachers with little or no previous GIS experience and includes:

  • An overview of GIS pedagogy. 
  • Using ArcGIS as a geography visualiser.
  • Adding data and making your own maps in 2D and 3D.
  • StoryMaps for classroom use.

There will be an extended lunchtime, with some optional self-study activities provided. Refreshments will not be provided – but there are places nearby on campus to buy drinks and lunch.

We may finish a little earlier than the published finish time and we do understand if you have to leave before 4.00pm. The final 30-45 minutes will, therefore, be an opportunity to ask questions and explore ideas further, rather than covering new content.
