The Tennessee Geographic Alliance is planning to conduct three one-day Intro to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) workshops. We will partner with Michael Camponovo of the UTK GIS Outreach and Engagement Lab. This workshop will involve low-skill but high-engagement activities that teachers can use in the classroom that follow teaching strategies ranging from demonstration to a custom project. Specifically, the workshop will end with information about the Tennessee Student Mapping Contest.

 

Registration: $25 (Lunch will be provided)

The workshops will be held at

• Memphis (Evangelical Christian School): Tuesday, June 6

• Murfreesboro (MTSU): Wednesday, June 7

• Chattanooga (UTC): Thursday, June 8

The exact locations on the campuses are yet to be determined. All workshops will run from 9am-3pm.

 

Participants will be engaged with:

• The Instructional Use of GIS

• GeoInquiries

• Learn ArcGIS Lessons

• Survey123

• Story Mapping
