Learning Objectives

Indicator: 2.2.2.LI.3 - Explore the emerging technologies for geospatial data collection

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify at least four emerging technologies used for geospatial data collection and explain what each one does.
Describe how drones (UAVs), LiDAR, and smartphone-based mapping apps have changed the way geospatial data is collected compared to traditional methods.
Discuss the advantages and limitations of at least three emerging geospatial technologies using examples relevant to Ghana.
Evaluate a given scenario and recommend the most suitable emerging technology for collecting geospatial data, justifying their choice with reasoning.
Demonstrate digital literacy skills by exploring at least one mobile app or online platform used for geospatial data collection during the lesson.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Talk for learning: Using pictures, videos and other relevant materials in an all-inclusive with emphasis of learners from different geographical areas discussion, explore the emerging technologies for geospatial data collection. In discussions, learners should listen to their peers' opinions and express disagreements in constructive ways.

Assessment (2.2.2.AS.3). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 4 Extended critical thinking and reasoning.
