=Welcome to Module 2: GIS=

__Announcements__

 * September 20:** Wow! Some really insightful postings are in the forums this week. Great job using both the Arc 9.2 and Google Earth programs. The plans you've shared thus far regarding how you intend to use the programs are really solid.

Kudos also to everyone for working through some of the technical glitches you've encountered. As we all know, these are unavoidable when you are on the cutting edge. Though they may cause us to stumble briefly, it's such a pleasure that you display the tenacity to continue working through them. It will only serve the students better if we are willing to forge ahead despite the challenges we meet. Thanks to the many who have offered technical assistance throughout the week-end too!

Please take some time to review others' postings. If you worked with google earth over the week-end, for example, I am confident you'll find lots of interesting insight from others who also chose that platform but also from those who went the Arc route. As many of you noted, the instructions in the Mapping Our World text are very user friendly, so you might just find a lesson or a part of a lesson published there that you had not thought of earlier.

Great job, everyone. Please don't forget that if you run into trouble or have any questions, you should feel free to contact your Instructional Coach.

Looking forward to learning more, Mary
