[O04-07] Report on the Online Teaching Experience with WebGIS in the High School Geography Classes under the COVID-19 Pandemic
★Invited Papers
Keywords:Geography, WebGIS, Online lesson
In April 2020, schools across the country were suddenly required to offer online lessons due to the state of emergency associated with the Corona disaster.
However, the ICT environment of public schools at that time was extremely low quality and the security was excessively strict, and schools could hardly do anything.
However, in the spare time of the work-at-home system, many geography teachers were able to actually operate WebGIS such as Geographical Survey Institute maps, Google Earth, and GSMaP, and realize their effectiveness.
For this reason, some teachers have used them to conduct online geography lessons from home, and their effects, issues, and know-how have been showed to islands where they cannot usually participate in workshops through online conferences that were explosively spread at the time, and shared with teachers who were on maternity leave.
In addition, we realized that digital teaching materials are easy to copy and spread, and launched a geography teaching materials sharing project to deliver useful geographic information to non-specialized teachers when geography becomes compulsory in 2022.
At this time, we will report on the merits and demerits of online lessons and the project to share geography teaching materials, and talk about geography education during the GIGA school era.
