DOE
sponsors GPS/GIS Institute 2004
A series
of GPS/GIS Institutes are set for Summer 2004 in
South Dakota.
The series includes a two-week basic institute (two graduate credits) in both
Brookings and Box Elder, along with a one-week advanced institute (one
graduate credit) in the same locations.
The
events will be offered in June, and repeated again in July if there are enough
registrations to support four of each.
The
events will train interested educators to integrate GPS/GIS technology into
their existing curriculum as well as to explore opportunities to develop new
interactive units. Teachers will be trained in the use of a GPS unit and GIS
software, ArcView. ArcView is mapping software; the state has a
statewide license and will make the software available to interested school
districts.
Participants will receive $50 per day; room and board will be provided. Dates
of the institutes are:
