Synopsis

This work aims to provide an introduction to the potential of satellite technology in education. The first section gives a brief technical history of some of the different systems, making distinctions between remote sensing, telecommunications and amateur radio satellites. The second section examines the uses of satellite technology in individual subjects. In geography and environmental studies, for example, remote sensing allows the capture and presentation of scientific data, invaluable for project work and action learning. In languages, there is now the possibility of beaming in programmes from foreign networks. Science and information technology teachers are also poised to take advantage of new opportunities for process and skills-based learning. The third section of the book looks at the response of different sectors and the final section discusses some legal and copyright issues and the resources needed to realize the impact of satellites on education.
