Welcome to iGuess!
Introducing GIS Use in Education in Several Subjects
iGuess is a EU-funded project that aims at developing a teacher training course to promote GIS and instruct teachers in using it. Using GIS in class or in an extracurricular way will produce new, innovative approaches of teaching.Lots of people use GIS applications daily, like car navigation systems, interactive maps on the internet,.. yet GIS learning in Europe is lagging behind. Progress could be made if we initiate continent-wide educational programs. Not only do we need more GIS-trained people, teachers also need to become aware of the advantages of GIS.
iGuess aims getting the stakeholders to work together, disseminating GIS skills by sharing ideas and best practices in learning about the use of GIS. The course will contain methodologies, guidelines, good practices and exercises for using GIS in the classroom practice. In addition, links to content will be available on the iGuess website.
This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.
