Google is hosting the first Google Geo Teachers Institute, a free professional development experience designed to help educators get the most from Google’s Geo products and technologies.

The Geo Teachers Institute is an intensive, two-day event where participants get hands-on experience with Google’s Geo products: Google Earth, SketchUp, and Maps, including Mars, Moon, and Sky in Google Earth. Attendees will learn about innovative instructional strategies and receive resources to share with colleagues.

Google’s Geo products have been identified as a powerful learning toolkit that can help students conceptualize, visualize, share, and communicate information about the world around them.The Google Geo Education team hopes this event will empower educators to bring the world’s geographic information to students in a compelling, fresh, and fun way.
