Nearly two dozen middle school teachers from rural school districts around the country got a chance to use high-tech tools to map their world as they* learned about how to incorporate technology such as global positioning systems and geographic information systems into subjects as diverse as math, science, social studies and technology education.
The teachers, some coming for as far away as Arizona, were asked to make maps, take data and play a 21st Century version of hide and seek using the high-tech systems during a 10-day workshop held at James Madison University.
The workshop, held in mid July, at the. ISAT Building on JMU’s East Campus, was funded by the U.S. Department of Education and targets science, technology and math teachers from school districts that do not have the same access to technology as urban systems.
Rappahannock County High School was represented by teacher Ron Vickers who has a long history with the school and its technology program.
Vickers has students that place annually in the Technology Student Association competitions that are ' held on a district, regional, state and national level.
