Hello T3G, Would you plan a teacher training course with four-five sessions or seven-eight sessions? Our goal is to increase basic use across geography teachers (geography is a graduation requirement in Utah, so there are lots of geography teachers). Background: I have the opportunity to put together a multi-session course for my district. District IT recently added district wide (60,000+ students) single sign-on for ArcGIS Online. Sessions will be after school/contract hours and participants will receive a small stipend. This session number question comes from the fact that Utah will provide pay scale lane change credit at the following rate: .5 credits for 7 hours of face time and two hours of work/reflection, then 1.0 credits for 14 hours of face time and four hours of work/reflection. I can plan 4-5 sessions of 1.5-2 hours or try for 7-8 sessions of 1.5-2 hours. I've discussed this with colleagues and we are leaning towards hopefully attracting more teachers with fewer sessions to just get more people in the GIS door.  Does anyone have some thoughts on this type of training opportunity in terms of session number?

Hello amazing T3G folks,  I am collecting information on programs that lead to some sort of certification, or credential, or micro-credential for students in GIS. WV wants to build a student certification in GIS, and I am attempting to see what, if anything, other states are doing. I know of a few programs (Geospatial Semester is the highlight!), but I'm also looking for pathways, or sets of courses, or sets of experiences, that students participate in that leads to some kind of credential. If anyone has any information, resources, examples, or ideas, please pass them along to me! Thank you so much!  - Erika ... View more

I'm looking for a lesson plan that uses Survey 123, specifically one that I can adapt that includes students doing an inventory of trees, water spigots, etc on their campus. We're doing this activity for 7th graders in a couple weeks and the school is requesting a detailed lesson. ... View more

Hello Everyone, I am new to Survey123 and I want to create two surveys that a user can choose from within the first survey. The first page of "Survey 1" asks if the user has 20 minutes available and contains the choices of taking "Survey 2" or "Survey 3". Selecting either option takes the user to the corresponding survey. Would it be possible to connect the initial survey with the other two surveys using Survey123? Any help would be greatly appreciated!   ... View more

Hello,  I am interested in teaching GIS at a charter highschool in California.  I have a bachelor's degree in Applied Geography, and a California Clear Multiple Subjects Credential with a computer science endorsement.  I have had numerous years of experience using GIS for work (teaching is a new career for me), and am also currently working towards getting a certificate for it at a local University. My question is what credentials,  e.g., a CTE, single subject in Social Sciences (Geography), or other types do people have to be able to teach GIS at the high school level in California?   Thank you!
