At the Hawaii Council of Mathematics Teachers T3 Conference held on January 16 & 17, 2009 on Oahu, math teachers learned to use GPS! We calculated the circumference of the Earth, looked at how the latitude and longitude mapping system is based on mathematical coordinate systems, and learned to connect GPS to GIS with Google Earth!

On Monday November 17, 2008, several Molokai classrooms celebrated Geography Awareness Week with an emphasis on "GeoTech". Students learned through presentations and hands-on activities. Kaunakakai Elementary School 2nd, 3rd, & 4th graders, Kualapu'u Elementary Kindergarteners, Molokai Middle Hawaiian Immersion, and Molokai High School EAST students all participated in events coordinated by MEDB Women in Technology. Students engaged in GPS treasure hunts on school campus after learning how the technology works (See photo). And, in celebration of GIS Day, a GIS using professional from Molokai presented at the High School and students at the Middle School used some online mapping tools.
