It consisted of 18 teachers from all parts of Wisconsin. Trees for Tomorrow is an independent, nonprofit natural resource specialty school which uses a combination of field studies and classroom presentations to teach conservation values as well as demonstrate the benefits of contemporary resource management. In addition to student workshops offered during the school year, TFT hosts teacher workshops during the summer. Trees for Tomorrow is located in Eagle River, Wisconsin. The classes lasted three days and all involved had a great time learning these new tools. In teaching these classes, not only the students learned a lot but the trainers also learned different prespectives from the students in ways these technolgies can be used in the classroom. We also found out that the local county offices in Wisconsin are more then happy to help teachers obtain data, maps and assistances in using GIS and GPS in the classroom. Here are some of the pictures that were taken during the training session. The weather was HOT but the teachers still enjoyed the fieldwork.
