Geofest Minnesota 2010

Saturday Oct 15, I will be attending Geofest. This is an event sponsored by The Minnesota Alliance for Geographic Education (MAGE) which is guided by a Steering Committee comprised of teachers, college professors, and administrators dedicated to being the best geography educators possible.

MAGE believes that the study of geography is an important part of the intellectual maturation of students and that the materials available to all students must be of the highest possible quality. So Geofest is an event where all members come together to share, learn, and promote geographical education.

My envolvement will be to educate attendees on the feature functionality and value of Mapguide Open Source as a GIS tool for the classroom. Students and teachers will find its ease of use valuable, and because its open source, no restrictions on how it is implemented and distributed to students and faculty alike. To download Mapguide Open Source 2.0, Mapguide Maestro and a 'quick start' guide use the link below.


Good Mapping!
