A whole new world of GIS began to open up on Friday.Had a day of training on the ESRI DIGITAL WORLDS package. Installed the package first, followed by a disc of MAPS and DATA (although most of the maps, particularly the OS maps, are streamed in from the internet, so aren't physically present on the machine...)
We then worked through a range of activities which were designed to give us some familiarity with the main tools at our disposal, before heading off into some of the "proper" GIS tools that make software like this so important as a goal to progress towards by the time that students reach GCSE courses...
The next session is in a few weeks time, and am looking forward to developing my skills with the package...
