1 Using GIS across different disciplines in Danish gymnasiums (High Schools) GIS is being introduced in the following subjects Geography Physics Biology History Social Science ICT Torben P. Jensen torbenpj@inet.uni2.dk More information http://www.gogis.dk/http://www.gogis.dk/

2 Our Sources of Inspiration Informi GIS ESRI, CA and Study Trip to ESRI 2003 ESRI, CA ESRI 2003 Danish Ministry of Education - Danish Ministry of Education Danish Association of Geographers Geografforlaget and GOGIS GeografforlagetGOGIS

3 In-service Training in Denmark 2002

4 In-service Training and Diffusion of GIS Competence and ArcView National Geography courses Regional Geography courses 2002 >> Schools buy GIS GIS-DAY – 2004 http://www.langkaer.dk/om/arkiv/04/gisday http://www.langkaer.dk/om/arkiv/04/gisday

5 Using GIS across different disciplines in Danish gymnasiums (High School) Educational framework –Student participation Desktop-based GIS Field-based GIS Web-based GIS

6 GIS and student participation Good ICT-functionality and knowledge sharing Teaching teams cooperating closely and openly Well-structured teaching models wíth sub- categories

7 Teaching model Problem Background Exercises Links

8 Learning categories Experience Insights Source Methods Express Exercise

9 Ortho photo in GIS GIS can show Ortho photo in a Geographical Information System Example from Klim

10 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.

11 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

12 Wells and polluted areas – using ”Intersect” The Municipality of Aarhus

13 Environmental pollution at Mundelstrup The 1980s: 20 sites were depolluted. Toxic soil was removed and new soil put on (20 million DKK)

14 Map of the fertilizer factory - the source of pollution Fertilizer factory (1888-1924) Map from about 1900

15 Field-based GIS iPAQ og ArcPad used to collect and store data from the satellites The data were used in the GIS programs.

16 Web-based GIS with local data Digital Atlas – Local area: Students often quickly realize the possibilities in GIS

17 GIS query - wind mills Find the best locations for wind mills

18 Calculate distances from wind mills

19 Land Cover

20 Example of Land Use Map
