This practical workshop will show teachers and expedition organizations how to create virtual fieldwork using Google Earth as a template.

Participants will then be shown how this data can be transformed into a virtual journey using Google Earth.
Cost: £111.63 (£95 + VAT) includes course notes, lunch and refreshments. School Members, Fellows and Ordinary Members of the RGS-IBG are entitled to a 10% discount.
