The New England Association of Regional Councils (NEARC) and the New England Geography Alliance Network will hold their 3rd annual GIS Educators Day on November 7, 2010 at the Marriott Hotel in Newport, Rhode Island. The event, which focuses on the use of GIS in both K-12 classrooms and higher education, is a one-day pre-conference to NEARC’s annual user conference that runs from November 7-10. The event is for experienced GIS users as well as for those who want to learn about the educational possibilities of this powerful tool. Informal educators (4-H, after school programs, scouts, etc.) are also encouraged to participate.
If you have any questions about the conference or to submit an abstract for a presentation at GIS Educators Day, contact Lyn Malone at lmalone@worldviewsgis.com. If you are interested in submitting a presentation proposal for the main NEARC conference itself, go to http://www.northeastarc.org/2010/html/call10.shtml to submit a proposal online.
