Ideas and resources for fieldwork techniques that can be adapted to suit your students and the site you are visiting.

The articles in this section, written by teachers for teachers, outline actual case studies of how GIS and new technology can be incorporated into fieldwork activities. Articles include ideas for using free online resources such as Google Earth, as well as software programs such as ArcGIS and Infomapper.
