Educator Professional Development: Using Data and Maps to Inspire Student Thinking

Presented by the Brown Family Charitable Foundation and the Hebenstreit Family in partnership with the Linda Hall Library.

The program is an educator professional development course. Registration priority will be given to K-12 teachers and educators. 

About the workshop:
This workshop will provide educators an introduction to the powerful world of GIS (Geographic Information Systems). GIS allows the user the ability to create maps, visualize and analyze data, and better understand their own communities and the world. This technology can be used in the classroom to engage student thinking in identifying patterns and relationships and provide a launching point for a variety of careers in GIS.
