I will be running my first VITAL Teachshare TONIGHT
It's on 'FREE GIS TOOLS for the Geography Classroom' and introduces the basics of GIS followed by 3 suggested websites which can be used to produce GIS-style work with students.
If you'd like to join me, you'll need to click this link just before 7pm
This will load up Elluminate on your machine which may take a few minutes....
For those who haven't been to an online session before, you'll be able to hear and see me going through a presentation and then have a chance to discuss things. You can ask question and I might ask you to click some icons to participate... You'll get the hang of it...
We should be finished by 7.45, but you can of course feel free to join later and leave earlier if you like: that's the 'benefit' of online sessions like this. Slides and links will be on Slideshare after the event.
If you haven't already done so, head over to VITAL and sign up for a free trial for the Geography portal too...
Check out the other subject portals too. For just five quid you can subscribe to 3 of them until March 2012 and access videos, forums, resources, Top Tips and other content.
UPDATE
Next session is Wednesday October 2011 at 7pm - Curriculum Making in Geography
If you'd like to see a replay of the session, FOLLOW THIS LINK - not sure of the speed at which it will play, and the sound is not perfect (which may have been my fault...)
Also need to practice getting the presentation properly on the screen....
Thanks very much for those colleagues who joined me, and asked questions....
