Overall Geospatial Skills (from the Course and Workshop)

17. Rate your awareness level of careers that use geospatial technology (i.e. meteorologist using image analysis to understand weather patterns).

not very aware of these careers
know of a few careers
know of some careers
know of many careers
possess a high degree of awareness about these careers

Use the numeric scale to rate your level of understanding and proficiency at doing the following:

18. Coming up with scientific concepts that students can learn more effectively with geospatial technology than without it.

1---I know nothing/am not able
2---I am aware, but need assistance
3---I know it for my own use
4---I know it pretty well and could share these ideas with someone else if I had time to review them
5---I could share many ideas with somebody else right now

19. Planning science lessons that make effective use of image analysis.

1---I know nothing/am not able
2---I am aware, but need assistance
3---I know it for my own use
4---I know it pretty well and could share these lessons with someone else if I had time to review them
5---I could share many lessons with somebody else right now

20. Planning science lessons that make effective use of GIS.
