The Spatialworlds blog is a repository of teaching resources, images, commentary and website links for those interested in spatial education in schools.
is the Chair of the Australian Geography Teachers' Association (AGTA). Malcolm has been involved in teaching and developing classroom materials using spatial technologies and interactive media since 1997.
In an effort to introduce GIS into classrooms around Australia Malcolm has developed a "GIS Skill Development Course" for secondary students and a range of across the curriculum resource materials. With the development of a national geography curriculum in 2009, Malcolm is finding his focus being more on the work of AGTA and the need to develop a ‘state of the art’, contemporary, ‘worlds best practice’ geography curriculum for Australian students in the 21st Century. Naturally that involves the use of spatial technology and an understanding of the role of spatial literacy in geography.
