Summer 2010 MAGIC Workshop
for Teachers at UConn – 8-2-10

---

This spring, the Connecticut Geographic Alliance is beginning an exciting new collaboration with MAGIC. The University of Connecticut Libraries' Map and Geographic Information Center (MAGIC), collects maps, atlases, gazetteers, aerial photographs, and digital geospatial data pertaining to the state of Connecticut, New England, and the world. MAGIC digitizes public domain and copyright free maps and resources in order to enable researchers to have digital access to these resources. MAGIC is focused on "Digitizing the Past to Empower 21st Century Research" to develop an interdisciplinary collection of geospatial resources and maps which focus upon the state of Connecticut. MAGIC provides assistance with GIS questions, Web Map Service (WMS), and Mash-ups utilizing data on the MAGIC website.

On August 2, 2010, the CGA and MAGIC will present a workshop entitled “Interactive Maps to Enhance Student Learning” at the University of Connecticut’s Homer Babbidge Library on the Storrs campus. It will run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with a break for lunch. The workshop is geared toward teachers of students in grades five through twelve. Each participant will be eligible to receive 0.5 CEUs upon completion of the program.

This workshop is essentially free for participants. The CGA requests a $25 registration deposit that will be refunded upon completion of the workshop. The registration deadline is July 6, 2010. Questions regarding the workshop can be directed to Jeffrey Dunn at MAGIC (jeffrey.dunn@uconn.edu).
