GIS in Primary Schools – Teaching Local History and Cultural Landscape

Since the 1990ies Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been introduced to secondary level education. There are numerous examples of best practice for teaching secondary level geography using GIS technology. There are fewer examples of using GIS at primary level or bridging local history and geography teaching. This essay emphasises the didactic possibilities of teaching local history and cultural landscape with GIS through a pilot project and the suitability of the method to be applied to primary level education.
