GIS Day update & article

The GIS Day Committee is back to work preparing for GIS Day Savannah 2009.  So far this year, we are working on updating the event format to improve the students’ educational experience.  While we are working on these details, we are also updating the sponsorship and registration forms for 2009.  In the meantime, the Spring 2009 ArcUser from ESRI has a great article describing how a teacher in Kansas has used GIS in his classrom to inspire students to solve real world problems, “Combining Math, GIS, and Community Service.”  The article can be found at the following link: http://www.esri.com/news/arcuser/0309/obenhaus.html.
