As you are all probably aware, during COVID19 alert level 4 school teachers have had to very rapidly move to teaching classes in an online environment. Many teachers have used this new environment as a reason to brush up on their GIS skills and / or use GIS in the classroom. For many teachers this mode of teaching will continue as we go down the COVID19 alert levels. Some teachers will also have to teach in a hybrid environment with some students in the classroom and students online, beaming in from their homes.
Below are some useful resources that you could recommend to the teacher(s) you mentor to enable spatial learning from home using ArcGIS Online
If you would like recommendations on further resources teachers could utilise for online teaching of GIS for students contact gisinschools@eagle.co.nz.
The New Zealand Board of Geography Teachers (NZBoGT) Network of Expertise is currently in the process of recording some useful teacher self learning videos which will be posted on YouTube progressively. The link to these videos will be added to this blog as it becomes available.
