Esri South Africa Education

The Western Cape Education Department ordered GIS software for 286 Government Schools during 2008. Esri South Africa trained two Educators from each school as well as some Subject Advisors. Lessons are aligned with the FET curriculum, contributing to the preparation of learners for their examinations. An exhibition of the products and lessons Esri South Africa has available to teach Geography using GIS in the classroom was hosted. A great deal of excitement was generated among Educators and Learners. Esri South Africa involved in GIS Week Students from eight Western Cape schools took part in a GIS week organised by GISSA. They performed two tasks organised by Department of Land Affairs and Esri South Africa. Great excitement and fun was experienced by all who attended. Esri South Africa attends Tukkies Open Day Esri South Africa and Tukkies expose prospective teachers to ArcView 3.3, enthusing them with the ability to bring the 21st Century to the Geography classroom.

Training is packaged with the product and normally pre-arranged, but additional training is also available if teachers would like to repeat a course or if teachers are interested in more advanced training.

-  Initial or Basic Training

Comprehensive training for one or two teachers is included in the original software acquisition from Esri South Africa. This training is given by a fully qualified Geography educationalist to ensure that the GIS applications are fully understood and that educators are able to teach the Geography curriculum using GIS as a tool.

Training in GIS principles (using ArcView 3.3 and ArcExplorer), takes place on computers. Groups are kept small, and additional facilitators are used when needed to ensure maximum learning.

Where teachers would like intervention or support from Esri South Africa, training for learners can be arranged.

Paper GIS training takes place without computers in suitable venues. Groups are assigned GIS tasks and work together towards the understanding of GIS principles.

- Additional / Advanced training

Supplementary and advanced training is available on request. Advanced skills, which aid in educators designing their own projects or bringing in their own data, are available on request.

Esri South Africa GIS lessons for Educators ArcLessons were developed under the supervision of Geography educators currently in the teaching profession and is aimed at providing educators with Outcomes Based lessons specifically designed to teach GIS concepts or to use GIS to teach Geography. Several ArcLessons are available and as more lessons are prepared they will be posted on this website. As educators and learners gain confidence more complex lessons can be introduced, and at a later stage learners/educators can develop their own projects in line with NSC objectives.
