ESRI Summer Institute for GIS Educators

ESRI is hosting the 2009 ESRI T3G Institute (Teachers Teaching Teachers GIS), June 14–19, 2009, at its company headquarters in Redlands, California. Teachers of grades 5–12, university instructors, and youth and community group leaders will work with ArcGIS software and data to improve their geographic information system (GIS) knowledge and technical skills. Ultimately, attendees will apply what they learn in their own classrooms or programs and show others in their field how to teach using GIS concepts.

The 2009 institute will include hands-on exercises; best practices discussions; and presentations about the latest geospatial trends in GIS, Web mapping, and GPS. The institute activities will be led by nationally known geospatial technology educators, and a limit of 30 participants will allow for individual assistance.

Applications are due by January 15, 2009, and acceptance will be announced in February 2009.
