@pokateo_maps Yes we do

@0mgould Wait, Amstel?

[Jan Willem van Eck @JWvanEck]

What a great #EsriUC! Thank you for the interest and the mob around the #Kadaster Tactile Maps project during the MapGallery. Pls do keep in mind to help others gain a “glimpse” of their world. It is what maps are all about.

[Jan Willem van Eck @JWvanEck]

@MicheleTobias @pokateo_maps @foss4gna Agreed. Some breaks are more important than the time in between breaks..

Experienced a clear disadvantage of a #Livingwall today: #class got interrupted by a very first butterfly, roaming across our still closed windows and seemingly trying to get in. https://t.co/I7vLW24eb8 @AereshboAlmere

Just realised that student lead symposiums truly are the best #education has to offer - for all involved https://t.co/KqKWDFfZ6p #uni #gischat #sustainable #urban #regions

Somehow I am not surprised that last year’s -lunchbreak- outside view of @AereshboAlmere, it’s lecture hall and #living-wall, received over 500,000 views on @unsplash

The inside view will catch up soon, it is just as surprising. #greenbuilding #Almere

@GIStuart A course / module on business models, innovation, trends, your career options. - give geoethics some ects as well.

Airports mapped on a #Schiphol ceiling. But is it a map? #mapsinthewild

[Jan Willem van Eck @JWvanEck]

At times I wonder if students realise how many learning opportunities their work offers to lecturers, tutors, researchers. Very well done!

Great lecture and call to action by @larsbodum

Artsy spaghetti data is somehow way more fun to explore #gischat #gpstrack

[Jan Willem van Eck @JWvanEck]

Only very few of the reasons why I enjoy visiting schools and universities, working with #education and #geography.

[Jan Willem van Eck @JWvanEck]

The greenest world map possible in a teachers lounge. A clear indication of geographic thinking on campus.

So looking forward to re-discover spatial patterns at the #EsriUC

[Jan Willem van Eck @JWvanEck]

Interesting spatial patterns in front of the Hilton #EsriUC

[Jan Willem van Eck @JWvanEck]

Traffic signs are just a great way to help students discover the importance of #semiotics. Feel free to borrow of few of them from my Flickr album https://t.co/3jKfO9Ncgh

This is my favorite.

Spotted a triangular sphere with a interesting choice of generalization. Not quite sure what England reminds me of.

@JenZelnick @Esri This may help: https://t.co/5kxk4KtUtm

No joke. Discovered a #surveyor ‘s worst nightmare - it does not appear to be case of #geo vandalism.

There is visual poetry in the exploration of gps tracks

#LocationExperiment

[Jan Willem van Eck @JWvanEck]

Great learning opportunities by -voluntarily- tracking student’ phones whilst on a field trip. Colorful, messy and artsy track-lines are just an added benefit.
