Course objectives
Student can be able to: learn wider knowledge of the work with the GIS with a help of free downable applications, (ArcExplorer) discover space and air images and their didactic use, create animation from the space images, classify the changes of the landscape according to the time resolution of the air images, learn the work with interactive maps published on the web sites, learn basic geoinformatics with emphasis on didactic transformation work with GPS. The course also focuses on the preparation of the basis for the final thesis.
Syllabus
  • ArcExplorer – free downable application for the primary and secondary schools. Topographic map of the home town and its neighborhood. Interactive maps published on websites, The maps of Czech Republic, thematic maps (geology, Nature Protection, NATURA, air pollution etc.), other useful websites, their didactic use. Remote Sensing – space images, didactic transformation of the images from the satellite LANDSAT, Space images – observing up-to-date images from satellites MATEOSAT and NOAA, to create the animation on the basis of satellite images to classify the cloudiness in Europe. Virtual walk on Earth – the work with Google Earth. Historical and up-to-date air images – classify the changes of the landscape. The work with the Global Positioning Systems - in case of the sufficient number of the apparatus. Students will elaborate a summary work which will include all the materials used in each topic; usually maps or pictures of the student’s hometown and its neighbourhood.
