New tools for spatial thinking, and for analyzing and visualizing spatial data, are indispensible for 21st century professionals. On November 10, TLC will host a presentation by Diana Stuart Sinton, Director of Spatial Curriculum and Research at the University of Redlands, on “New Ways to Map a Changing World.” Diana headed a national initiative to integrate GIS and spatial thinking across the curriculum for 100 liberal arts colleges, and is an outstanding teacher/presenter on both Geographic Information Systems and lower threshold web-mapping tools such as Google Earth. Diana will do a strategy session for faculty interested in incorporating mapping and data visualization into their teaching, a public presentation on the latest trends in mapping, and a hands-on workshop using Google Earth.
This sounds like a fascinating workshop. I’d really like to attend, but I may be away on a recruiting trip. Would anyone be kind enough to record Diana’s presentation?
Can you tell me what time this will be held?
Here is the tentative schedule for November 10:
11-12 – Integrating GIS and Web Mapping Tools Across the Curriculum: A Strategy Discussion
12:30-1:45 – Lecture/demonstration: New Ways to Map a Changing World (Irvine)
2-4:30 – Hands-on workshop on Web Mapping Tools
(We’ll announce locations for all sessions well before the event.)
