Message-ID: <7946ADBA-D952-4B3E-B0B4-A26B9E46A95C@uen.org>

Just wanted to let you know that the GIS day is half full. Contact  
Cindy Clark soon to get your school there. This is a great opportunity  
for your students to learn about GIS and GPS.

>
> Folks:
>
> I would like to bring 3 new GIS-based lessons in the ArcLessons  
> library (http://www.esri.com/arclessons) to your attention:
>
> US Presidential Election:  2008 - Revised Edition
> http://gis.esri.com/industries/education/arclessons/ 
> search_results.cfm?id=391
> U.S. Presidential elections are always good times to explore the  
> geography of the United States. These data sets and project files  
> for two GIS software packages - ArcView - (www.esri.com/arcview)  
> and ArcExplorer Java Edition for Education (www.esri.com/aejee)-  
> will give you a start in the exploration.  There are many ways in  
> which to use this data. How would you use this data as a  
> presidential candidate (What issues will be important in which  
> geographic regions?), a campaign strategist (Where do you spend  
> your time and advertising budgets?), or a news analyst trying to  
> identify good story angles (Which states have been "safe" for one  
> party or another, and which have been "battleground" states?).
>
> On the Road Again:  Transportation Analysis in the USA
> http://gis.esri.com/industries/education/arclessons/ 
> search_results.cfm?id=392
> This 70-question lesson and spatial data are to be used with ArcGIS  
> software by ESRI to study the spatial pattern of transportation-- 
> roads, waterways, railroads, and airports, in the USA.  What is the  
> longest interstate highway?  The longest US highway?  How are the  
> highways numbered?  What impact do metropolitan areas have on  
> traffic volume?  What are the busiest roads in your community?
>
> Baseball Radio Station Analysis
> http://gis.esri.com/industries/education/arclessons/ 
> search_results.cfm?id=390
> This 54-question lesson and spatial data are to be used with ArcGIS  
> software by ESRI to study the spatial pattern of radio stations  
> that broadcast major league games of the Kansas City Royals and St  
> Louis Cardinals.  What pattern do they show?  What is the pattern  
> of cities that have major league baseball teams?  This lesson may  
> be especially timely to run now (even though, sadly, the Milwaukee  
> Brewers have lost) during the baseball playoffs and World Series!
>
> Enjoy, and as always, let us know how you use these lessons in your  
> classroom!

> At eSchool News we believe all educators want to learn new  
> applications for technology but few have the time.
> That's exactly why we started our free online "Educator Resource  
> Centers." And why you'll find valuable information for your school  
> as well.
>
> Each center focuses on a very specific technology application that  
> is helping schools just like yours to improve learning. Visit any  
> one of them when you have a few minutes to learn all about the  
> latest news and resources we offer. You may just find some

> This Month's Online Collection:
>
> Desktop Management Made Easy
> As school systems become increasingly reliant on technology,  
> district networks are growing exponentially. Supporting the various  
> machines connected to these networks can be a daunting task that  
> builds travel costs and overdraws resources. Utilizing a sound  
> desktop-management strategy can give you complete control of your  
> computers, saving valuable time and money. Go to http://www.eschoolnews.com/resources
> /desktop-management-made-easy/
>
>
> Keeping online learning secure
> Online learning is becoming increasingly popular, especially as fuel  
> costs force schools to consider shortened schedules and have college  
> students opting for virtual classes to save money. But while  
> interest and enrollment in virtual classrooms rises, so do concerns  
> about security while students are learning online. Go to http://www.eschoolnews.com/resources
> /keeping-online-learning-secure/
>
>
> GIS and Geographic Inquiry
> "Geospatial" technologies--which include geographic information  
> system (GIS), global positioning system (GPS), and remote sensing  
> (RS) tools--are becoming increasingly important in our everyday  
> lives. These technologies use "smart" maps that can display, query,  
> and analyze geographic databases; receivers that provide location  
> and navigation; and global-to-local imagery and tools that provide  
> context and analysis. Go to http://www.eschoolnews.com/resources
> /gis-and-geographic-inquiry/
>
>
> Online learning for high school success
> Preventing high school dropouts has become a key focus of education  
> stakeholders and government officials across the country, as the  
> skills taught in high school are imperative to students' success.  
> But with online credit recovery programs and virtual learning  
> becoming more accessible to more students, many are able to regain  
> momentum and graduate with high school diplomas. Go to http://www.eschoolnews.com/resources
> /online-learning-for-high-school-success/
>
>
> Measuring 21st-century skills
> To remain competitive in an increasingly global, knowledge-based  
> economy, today's employers need graduates who are adept at so-called  
> "21st-century skills" such as using information and communications  
> technology (ICT) to gather and assess information, collaborate,  
> innovate, think critically, and solve problems. Go to http://www.eschoolnews.com/resources
> /measuring-21st-century-skills/
>
>
> Turning Student Data Into Intelligence
> No matter how many students a school or district has, one thing  
> remains the same--the vital importance of tracking student  
> attendance, grades, standardized test scores, school or district  
> transfers, and more. Administrators, teachers, students, and parents  
> all depend on a reliable Student Information System (SIS) to give  
> accurate reports and updates. Go to http://www.eschoolnews.com/resources
> /turning-student-data-into-intelligence/
>
>
> Anywhere Anytime Administration
> As schools move toward the newest technologies, school  
> administrators need to be reassured that vital information will  
> reach them instantly, whether they are in the office, in a meeting,  
> or traveling across their district or campus. The need for anywhere,  
> anytime access has led many administrators to depend on mobile,  
> handheld devices for eMail and other applications. Go to http://www.eschoolnews.com/resources
> /anywhere-anytime-administration/
