This computer lab-based professional development workshop is designed to train someone with LITTLE TO NO EXPERIENCE how to use free online mapping tools in a classroom setting.  This is open to educators from all grade levels and subjects; one of the strands of the training will be on sustainable agriculture, locally grown (the theme of this year’s Envirothon). In this training participants will be able to:

• Get resources on the best available online maps for the classroom.

• Create online maps that can be used in the classroom. 

• Prepare their students to create their own online maps.

The registration fee is $10 (pay at the door); with limited seating we ask that you reserve your spot by simply emailing an RSVP to rigea@ric.edu.

WHEN: October 26th, 2013 9am-12pm
