Geography Teachers Association of Queensland State Conference 2009

I was lucky enough to take part in the 2009 GTAQ conference on Saturday the 1st August. This was a great chance to experience the world of spatial technologies - G.I.S, G.P.S and other I.C.T's. It was a great chance to meet other like-minded teachers who are willing to move away from the more traditional chalk 'n' talk methods of teaching and become involved in allowing students to be creative themselves.
