Learning and Teaching with Digital Earth-Teacher Training and Education in Europe

摘要

This paper presents research in the field of geographic media in school education. After a short introduction to the spatial thinking concept and the digital-earth.eu project, results of a European survey on the use of geographic media in teacher training and education (2011) are giving insight into the current situation, offers and needs. Two drafts for geo-media learning lines in teacher training and education are presented. Finally, the conception of Centres of Excellence and Experts for learning with geo-media and their implementation at a European scale are discussed including a suggestion for criteria of excellence.
