摘要

Despite its central role in real-world geography, GIS has had little uptake to date in School Geography. (Wiegand, 2001). This statement can be accurately applied to our current school setting and was the focus of our case study, commenced in 2004 and continued into 2005. The study was undertaken as part of a Masters degree in e-Learning at University of Technology, Sydney, Australia. It examined the steps taken and the challenges faced by a team of researchers, two geography teachers and, myself, the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) Coordinator at our school. My interest in the project arose from a concern that in my experience, technology is poorly integrated into school programmes. Teachers make decisions based on their own limited experiences and technologically complex learning applications such as GIS are not provided to students. I was interested in establishing a support model for teachers, allowing student access to such learning. All members of the research team were new to GIS and had two clear aims. First, to implement a GIS program within the Geography curriculum. Second, to leave a footprint to assist other educators. Our school belongs to a network of independent schools in New South Wales. While the main body of our research was carried out in-house, we surveyed Geography teachers and ICT Coordinators within this network in order to assist us in validating our findings.
