Towards a Teach the Teachers Programme on the Pedagogical Use of GI Tools

The present contribution focuses on the proposal of a teaching method in order to prepare teachers to integrate the use of GI tools into the standard school curriculum and pedagogy. We refer to all teachers not only the geography teachers: starting from spatial thinking skills – the specific skills we can reach using geoinformation tools with students –, every teacher may obtain pedagogical results both in her/his own discipline and in make students competent in the so called 21th century skills. The method proposed in this contribution is based on the EPICT (European Pedagogical ICT Licence) concept.
