Presentation Transcript

  1. Using GIS across different disciplines in Danish gymnasiums (High Schools) GIS is being introduced in the following subjects • Geography • Physics • Biology • History • Social Science • ICT Torben P. Jensen torbenpj@inet.uni2.dk More information http://www.gogis.dk/

  2. Our Sources of Inspiration • Informi GIS • ESRI, CA and Study Trip to ESRI 2003 • Danish Ministry of Education - • Danish Association of Geographers • Geografforlaget and GOGIS

  3. In-service Training in Denmark 2002

  4. In-service Training and Diffusion of GIS Competence and ArcView • National Geography courses • Regional Geography courses 2002 >> • Schools buy GIS • GIS-DAY – 2004 http://www.langkaer.dk/om/arkiv/04/gisday

  5. Educational framework Student participation Desktop-based GIS Field-based GIS Web-based GIS Using GIS across different disciplines in Danish gymnasiums (High School)

  6. GIS and student participation • Good ICT-functionality and knowledge sharing • Teaching teams cooperating closely and openly • Well-structured teaching models wíth sub-categories

  7. Teaching model • Problem • Background • Exercises • Links

  8. Learning categories • Experience • Insights • Source • Methods • Express • Exercise

  9. Ortho photo in GIS • GIS can show Ortho photo in a Geographical Information System • Example from Klim

  10. Ortho photo with GIS analysis by students • A GIS project can visualize the collected data in a map • On top of an Ortho photo the students may draw the outlines of a building and add new information about every location.

  11. Ortho photo with GIS-data • The same GIS project again • Not the map, but part of the data base made by the students is shown here

  12. Wells and polluted areas – using ”Intersect” The Municipality of Aarhus

  13. Environmental pollution at Mundelstrup • The 1980s: 20 sites were depolluted. Toxic soil was removed and new soil put on (20 million DKK)

  14. Map of the fertilizer factory - the source of pollution • Fertilizer factory (1888-1924) • Map from about 1900

  15. Field-based GIS • iPAQ og ArcPad used to collect and store data from the satellites • The data were used in the GIS programs.

  16. Web-based GIS with local data • Digital Atlas – Local area: Students often quickly realize the possibilities in GIS

  17. GIS query - wind mills • Find the best locations for wind mills

  18. Calculate distances from wind mills

  19. Land Cover

  20. Example of Land Use Map
