Angela Alexander

Attending conferences and workshops is an effective way to network with other educators and to find useful resources and tools that can enhance your teaching. Check out the conferences for K-12 educators that will be running in the next couple of months. You will have the opportunity to meet a member of the K-12 Education group who can help you find new ways to integrate GIS in your teaching.

Fall conferences have started already! Check out the lineup of workshops the K-12 group will facilitate. You can also visit us at the Esri Canada table to find free resources that’ll help you begin your GIS journey.
