Abstract
Geographic information Systems (GIS) have become an indispensable tool for geothematic cartography. This workshop shows GIS free software as a tool and other GIS inspired tools to do cartography. This useful technology is available on the Internet and can help us to teach environmental geology. As an example, we propose design maps to use on fieldtrips as a GIS application. Moreover, several ideas are proposed which may be used as complementary tools for Earth Sciences and Geology teaching, both in field activities and in the classroom. The activities proposed are specifically recommended for High School students taking Earth and Environmental Sciences and Geology, though they may be adapted to the different levels of Compulsory Secondary Education.
