Rationale: At a time when our nation is focused on the delicate balance between the earth's ecosystems and the impact that humans and technology have on those systems, classroom teachers are in need of current instruction which focuses on 
Earth and its interactions with humankind.
It is anticipated that this workshop will allow teachers to introduce earth systems and remote sensing through the investigations and resources provided. The workshop training will include the use of Earth Walk™, a 16' X 20' floor map of the continental United States which features a high resolution satellite image with true life earth colors.
