I agree to implement at least 3 GIS based lessons with my students during the Spring 2009 semester.
I agree that at least one of the lessons will either be self-created or modified (improved) from a model lesson.  (Modification can be as simple as re-writing some of the instructions; adding an additional exercise, extension, or grading rubric; or using a substitute data set (NH data instead of MT data for example)
I have the time to commit to work on this course.
I am willing to share my experiences and the knowledge gained from this program with my colleagues both in my district and throughout the state.

I will participate in the Designing Engaged Learning Projects with GIS 3-credit graduate course through Plymouth State College on June 28-July 3 and August 15, 2009 (Required for Team Coordinators, optional for others)
