across Illinois yet? If you haven?t, you will be hearing about it soon
across the educational technology pipelines of Illinois. As educators and
consultants in these areas, we are actively involved with this plan for
Illinois? educational future. It is just a matter of time before these
tools are commonplace with students. Find out more about these spatial
tools at the April ILGISA conference. The topics will include:

GIS ? One of the Best Kept Secrets in Technology for the 21st Century

Discover the rapidly growing benefits of Geographical
Information Systems (GIS) as a new and essential tool for student
