Hello all,
I, along with 2 other people, met with the Iowa Geographic Alliance (GAI) Coordinator today. The GAI is a program, that is partially funded by National Geographic Society, to help teach, and assist, k-12 teachers in Iowa about Geography. The coordinator met with us, because he wanted to learn about what 4-H does with a Geographic Information System (GIS). I have a feeling this will be an exciting venture in the future, collaborating with GAI. We are hoping to start working with them next year. We may even have a conference in a couple years for Iowa GIS Educators! (That would be COOL, but its aways away.) This is a really cool thing that we are working on. I will let you know more, as it becomes public.
