GIS and student participation
Good ICT-functionality and knowledge sharing
Teaching teams cooperating closely and openly
Well-structured teaching models wíth sub-categories
The extension and use of the internet in Denmark
A growing number of private citizens in Demark have access to the internet – 1999-2003: from 50 % to 77 % – 12 to 19 age group: 97 % – 60 to 69 age group: 44 % – over 70 age group: 21%
All schools in a single Sector network All schools have web sites Communication platform for all schools
“Skolekom” using First Class - more than 300,000 users .
The three classical learning rooms
The classroom The study room The training room
Exploration room – new room
From learning objectives to product Interchange of classroom theory and field work
in the exploration room Use of ICT and selected digital learning
objectives in the exploration room Learning objectives and product demands
determine student participation and student activities in the exploration room
Learning styles
The Activist – Motto: We must learn by doing and testing.
The Theoretician – Motto: We must adjust practice to the best theory.
The Pragmatist– Motto: The theory must work in practice – or we’ll
make a new theory. The Reflective

Web-based GIS - Digital atlas - type of data
Web-based GIS with local data
Digital Atlas – Local area: Students often see and understand the possibilities in GIS
Ortho photo in GIS
GIS can show Ortho photo in a Geographical Information System
Example from Klim
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.
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
Environmental pollution at Mundelstrup
The 1980s: more than 20 sites were depolluted. The toxic soil was removed and new soil put on
Map of the fertilizer factory - the source of pollution
Fertilizer factory (1888-1924) Map from about 1900
GIS analysis using environmental data
Environmental issues near Mundelstrup, Denmark
Field-based GIS - using pda (iPAQ) and ArcPad
iPAQ og ArcPad can be used to collect and store data from the satellites
The data can be used in the GIS programs.
From spread sheet to GIS project
The students make spread sheets with information on every locality, environmental conditions such as water pollution etc.
The spread sheet is imported into ArcView and the program shows the different contents of the legends
Polluted plots of land
The Municipality of Aarhus, Denmark
Wells and polluted land
Students’ GIS reports on the pollution.
GIS data can be exchanged via mail and conference systems like First Class.
