"Optimizing Location for Decision Making'
Kenya WEBGIS supports the grand new competency based-curriculum [cbc] and promotes the use of digital tools and technology in Geography teaching and learning.
GIS For Schools-Kenya project, provides a step-by-step guide on how to use GIS as a tool to enhance geography education and seeks to justify the need for integrating GIS in geography curriculum.
Kenya WEBGIS is a Web-based Geographic Information System. It is an advanced technology that allows users to visualize, analyze, and interpret geographical data through the internet. Unlike traditional GIS, which requires specialized software, WEBGIS can be accessed via web browsers, making it widely accessible and user-friendly.
By leveraging the power of WEBGIS into education, educators can create a dynamic and interactive learning environment that prepares students for the challenges of the modern world. It enables the integration of various types of geographical data, such as maps, satellite images, and spatial data, which can be manipulated and analyzed in real-time.
