The 2010 GeoFest held in Omaha on Saturday, July 24 was a huge success. Over 80 teachers and family members were in attendance from as far away as Burwell, Farnam, and Scottsbluff as well as many more from Lincoln and Omaha. The featured presenters were 20 of the teachers who participated in our two GEON institutes held earlier this summer in Omaha and the Panhandle. These institutes were underwritten by a generous Improving Teacher Quality grant from the Nebraska Coordinating Commission for Post-secondary Education. Photograph by Dr. Randy Bertolas

Geography Action!

This fall, teachers are invited to bring the diverse cultures and environments of the Americas to their students with a free assortment of resources, maps and hands-on activities available at the Geography Action! Web site. Educators can start planning their own celebrations with a themed toolkit and lesson plans for grades K-12, designed to educate and excite students about the natural, cultural and historic treasures of North America.
