SUMMARY:GIS: Analyzing Our World in MS/HS Earth and Social Science
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to design and use GeoInquiries to bring excitement to learning! GeoInquiries are short\, standards-based mapping activities that use a geographic inquiry process to introduce earth and social science concepts to middle and high school students. GeoInquiries use ArcGIS Online technology (free to schools!) to uniquely engage students in content beyond the textbook while promoting critical thinking about the world around them. Lessons include learning objectives\, technical “how-to’s”\, textbook references\, and formative whole-class assessment items. \nThese activities can be implemented in a classroom with as little as a tablet and a projector and are compatible with any operating system. Any teacher can use a GeoInquiry\, regardless of their prior experience with digital mapping tools. \nBring your textbook to make connections to your own instructional materials. For more information on GeoInquiries and to view examples\, visit http://edcommunity.esri.com/Resources/Collections/geoinquiries.\nFor more information on GIS\, visit http://www.esri.com/what-is-gis. \nTraining is offered by LTC2 in partnership with Think Geospatial and SLICE. \nCost: \n$300 – Registration\n$515 – Registration with 2 graduate credit hours \nRegistration:\nClick here! \nCredits:\n26 PDCs or 2 graduate credit hours through Aurora University (additional fee required)

SUMMARY:June Travelogue - How Corn Changed Itself and Then Changed Everything Else
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Cynthia Clampitt \nAbout 10\,000 years ago\, a weedy grass growing in Mexico possessed of a strange trait known as a “jumping gene” transformed itself into a larger and more useful grass—the cereal grass that we would come to know as maize and then corn. Today\, it is more important than ever. Cynthia Clampitt presents an extremely entertaining and interesting look at corn.
