Rubrique : Manuels logiciels / QGIS
You already know that Geographic Information Systems are about much more than geography.
GIS encompasses all of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and adds the Arts (STEAM).
GIS offers your students an interdisciplinary approach to learning that unites computer technology, computer assisted design, digital design, and analytic problem solving.
On the Way with GIS builds on the introduction to GIS, established in Open the Door to GIS, featuring more advanced topics. Students will strengthen their skills and increase their confidence in a digital environment, while you guide and support them with pedagogy, not technical expertise.
On the Way with GIS inspires students to construct inquiry based learning techniques, developing transferable skills, by using applications of GIS in a variety of scenarios. Don’t just teach your students how to use GIS, encourage your students to learn how to be part of the global community creating QGIS through understanding how it is constructed, how it works, and what can be done with it.
Using one of the oldest forms of teaching in the world, storytelling, each chapter offer students an entertaining and engaging way to learn about GIS, with a weekly story and activity, covering one semester. Students will work with different characters in each chapter ranging from those working in the field of GIS, or using GIS to solve problems, to students such as the reader using GIS for school. Other chapters take a more fanciful approach and feature non-human personalities. Students are supported throughout with easy to follow instructions that encourage their creativity and reflection.
On the Way with GIS is recommended for students age 10 to 15 years and is available as both a Teacher and Student edition.
