The 2019 conference theme is ‘The Innovative Geographer’. In an ever changing world, the study of Geography has become increasingly important. The technologies needed to collect, manage and represent our world are constantly changing. The proliferation of ‘big data’ and the everyday use of spatial technologies means that Geography teachers need to innovate in the classroom to ensure their students have the 21st century skills they will need to be successful beyond high school.

Leonie Brown,Curriculum Manager – Humanities at the Victorian Curriculum Assessment Authority will be presenting the AURIN GTAV Map – an interactive Map with curated spatial data designed to guide Year 7-10 students on GIS principles and applications.

The AURIN-GTAV Map and tutorials were developed by AURIN in partnership with the Geography Teachers Association of Victoria.
