I’m really proud of the brilliant things we’ve done as a team, hundreds of trainee and established teachers trained, the amazing (and very 🍊) teachwithgis.co.uk, collaborations with the Met Office and much more!

After breaking the news on last nights “Tea With GIS” it’s time to let the rest of the world know that I’m moving on to a new working adventure in the Engagement Development Team at Royal Horticultural Society.

After 4 1/2 years in the education team at Esri UK today will be my last day.

Ha! it was more 5 years from that "other" virus! Just reminiscing on the morning of the 24th March that year.

Just realised I forgot to take advantage of yesterdays snow to share the 50 Years of UK Snow Days Map! It's snowy here today too, so we are almost halfway to our average 5.3 days per year! #TeachWithGIS teachwithgis.co.uk/apps/754e5e4...

This looks a really interesting data set - useful for something I'm working on at the minute exploring different communities access to nature..
2 x Q's
1. Is the data set currently shared on AGOL?
2. Is it just for London? Category names would suggest so at the minute. Any plans to expand this?

Working towards the transition to Uni GIS is a challenge as when, how and how well, GIS is introduced in degrees is very mixed.

The feedback we see working with recent geog grads is that when their first encounter with GIS is at school their perceptions and experiences are MUCH more positive!!

#GeographyTeacher - Our UK Land Cover Atlas pairs really nicely with this! teachwithgis.co.uk/apps/eadd2cb...
