GIS, really is something new.Using it at first can be a little irritating for lots of different question popped in my mind while i'm into it.But after a couple of minutes of manipulating it made me realize that indeed, it is a great tool in teaching science as students would love to surf on the many informations that it provides. I believe that as you use if more often the more you will like it...;)
There are a variety of teaching strategies that instructors can use to improve student learning. As a teacher, if we keep on talking in front without new techniques we will not catch our students attention. With the GIS it can help us teachers use High Technology Gadgets to go with the fast flow of the 21st Century. GIS is an information system that integrates, stores, edits, analyzes, shares, and displays geographic information for informing decision making. GIS applications are tools that allow users to create interactive queries (user-created searches), analyze spatial information, edit data, maps, and present the results of all these operations.Young people nowadays are fond with these things. Their learning will become fast and they will learn new things.
A new tool and gadget for learning enhancement...though complicated a little bit.. but as you browse you learn that it is like surfing the net which students love to do... :)
At first, GIS is quite confusing. We don’t have a bit knowledge about it. But as days passes by on manipulating the tool I found quite interesting. Indeed, GIS will be a big help for students and teachers.
GIS is really an integrative tool to teach science subjects because it allows teachers and students to surf the internet and manipulate the AEJEE software. Students really love surfing the internet. GIS can give very relevant and correct information. Teachers will be confident in allowing the students to surf the internet. Students will be motivated and new skills will be discovered.
GIS can make our students' learning experiences in Science interesting and meaningful since they will be actively involved in the process with teachers as their facilitators. Surely, science will be loved by students for they will realize how science is chained with other subjects like math and geography in this respect.
GIS is an interesting tool for teaching not just for the students but for the teacher as well.it can be used as a presentation for the teacher in a classroom instruction and it can also be used by students for gathering, presenting and interpreting data.
GIS as an integrative tool in Teaching Science is very useful to us. It makes teaching easier.I think students would learn to love and appreciate more Science subject when teachers are equipped with GIS. Kudos to the Trainors!
GIS is an effective tool in teaching science to students, since it provides quantitative data. Spatial analysis skills are developed through the use of GIS in the classroom can also benefit for students as they participate in societal discussions of scientific matters. Not to worry because utilizing GIS in the classroom can be done without high-level hardware/software, and numerous websites provides free GIS data/mapping utilities.....=)
GIS is a new tool to integrate in our students in teaching science, for them to understand and conceptualize the topics introduce by the teacher using hardware,software in all forms of geographically referenced information. GIS is a big help of the teachers and students for better learning.
Integration of GIS in the class will break the traditional way of presenting Science lessons to the students. It will also be something new for them,which in turn will capture their curiosity and interest. Once motivated, learning Science will be more meaningful.
GPS is very new tool to integrate in my science I lesson. I'm sure, if I was stressed on the first day,how much more with my students.But along the way its more exciting and enjoying.........

GIS can awaken the creativity of the studnts particularly on locating places on earth.
ReplyDeleteAs the name implies. it's very informative.
