Course objectives
Main objective of this course is to acquire knowledge about the use of geoinformatics technologies in practice in teaching geography at primary and secondary schools. Students will learn to work with GIS (mainly with free downable applications), elaborate projects for the use of geoinformatics at schools, work with air and satellite images. It is also possible to use the interactive table.
