iGUESS is a scheme to support teachers using GIS.It stands for Introducing GIS Use in Education in Several Subjects, and involves teachers from a range of countries.
Thanks to Karl Donert for introducing me to the site. Looks like they will be at BETT and also the GTE Conference in Cambridge at the end of January, so I'll meet up with them there hopefully and see what the GA can do to support the development of the project.
Update: Thanks to Pedro Damiao for getting in touch and telling me about GEO-RED
This site aims to provide teachers and schools information about GIS, examples of their use for educational activities, as well as software and literature to enable a context of such activities.
The GeoRed site result of a collaborative project between the Association of Geography Teachers and the Department of Geography Faculty of Humanities, University of Lisbon and is funded by the Directorate-General for Innovation and Curriculum Development, the portuguese Ministry of Education.
Users can download lots of exercises made by other teachers, aiming to use GIS in the classroom.
Best wishes and all the best.
