%X With specific reference to Spatially Speaking 2006-7 four key CPD themes have emerged  from this evaluation process:   Teachers really do benefit from being given time to think and apply their professional  skills to creative, collaborative curriculum development   Developing CPD based around a technology such as GIS requires rigorous planning  for training opportunities and sustained technical support for teachers in their own  schools   ‘ Cutting edge’ development of teaching and learning (in geography) with GIS is more  likely to occur when more experienced users are given the opportunity to experience  ‘quality time’ working together at this level   There is now a renewed need and a clear CPD opportunity to ‘pin down’ the nature of  Spatially Speaking as an action research project with clear research expectations and  research outcomes for 2007-8
