Google Geo Teachers Institute
We hosted a Google Geo Teachers Institute for educators led by national-level Google staff on Sept. 26-27, 2011 at USM LAC. This will be a free professional development experience designed to help educators get the most from Google's geo products and technologies. The Geo Teachers Institute is an intensive, two-day event where participants get hands-on experience using Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google SketchUp, including a focus on features like Ocean, Mars, Moon and Sky in Google Earth. Attendees will learn about innovative instructional strategies and receive resources to share with colleagues. The Google Geo Education team hopes this event will empower educators to bring the world's geographic information to students in a compelling, fresh, and fun way. Since 2009 we have worked with Google to bring workshops and related opportunities to Maine educators. Google staff are providing their services for this institute at no charge.
