A few multimedia tools for training
I wanted to share with you some demos/movies I've used in recent GIS
trainings I've conducted. For the non-hands-on portions of the
trainings, I've been using the following:
The Layers of the World movie that Charlie / George told us about on
www.gisday.com
The AOL Career Profile of the GIS Manager from Rancho Cucamonga CA (I wish
that would remain after 13 Dec - really excellent)
The GIS Touches our Everyday Lives digital movie from www.gis.com
The 1967 Canadian Land Inventory movie - what has changed since then? What
is still the same?
The Jeep GPS commercial
The Geography Matters Movie
Demonstrations of running GIS software to solve a real-world problem
The World in a Box GIS Movie from GITA (I show it in 2 parts)
PowerPoint presentations - some of my own, some from others, and some on
www.gis.com and www.gisday.com
I've never used so many movies / animations as I have in the past month,
but there are so many good ones in traditional and web-based format now,
there's really no excuse for not using at least some of them.
I'm still, as always, interested in how and what others use in their own
GIS training.
I found a nifty quote from Emily Dickinson:
" I hope your rambles have been sweet and your reveries spacious."
