Dear Colleagues!

Please plan to join us for the Second Annual Conference of Maine GIS
Educators on November 13th in Carter Hall at Kennebec Valley Community
College in Fairfield. The agenda, registration form, directions and
other information are now available on the conference website:
http://megischamps.org/annual_mtg.html.

The meeting will include two hands-on workshops on using Google Earth
with local Maine data and analyzing satellite imagery. We'll also have a
report on research on Maine's geospatial workforce, a discussion of
community service GIS projects, a poster session for sharing information
about programs, projects and student work, and more.

The conference will appeal to any educator interested in geospatial
technology in Maine, including K-12 teachers, informal educators, and
faculty in both private and public institutions of higher education.
This is a great chance to hone your skills and to meet and share ideas
with other Maine educators. College and high school students can also
gain key career skills and meet GIS professionals.

K-12 teachers may attend the conference for free! Financial assistance
is available to any educator in need to cover travel, lodging, and
release time expenses. See the conference registration form for details.

We have the capability to stream conference sessions via the web and to
record them for later viewing on the web! If you are interested in
viewing the sessions on the web, please let us know. If there is
sufficient interest, we'll set it up.
Please pass this information along to your colleagues and encourage them
to attend. Check out the conference website,
http://megischamps.org/annual_mtg.html, and let us know if you can't
find the information you need.

I hope to see you in November!

Tora
