FW: MI School GIS projects

[carl . nunn]

I worked on a project whilst working for MapInfo Australia called SISIC which was aimed at this age group. You may wish to give them a call.   SISIC stands for Spatial Information Systems In Schools, and this project was the result of cooperation with Schools, Government and MapInfo Australia to produce an extremely low cost solution.   On the front desk at MapInfo Australia there was, and probably still is a picture of Virginia Chadwick the education minister in some sort of opening presentation (with my ugly snout in there too).   SISIC was a very good way of getting cheap map data, demographics and MapInfo software in schools. Hopefully, it is still going - for the benefit of schools and students as it does make interesting and fun coursework,   Regards   Carl Nunn - ALIGNED ASSETS   -   telephone: 01483 306 210  -  web: www.aligned-assets.co.uk   -----Original Message----- From: Carl Nunn - Aligned Assets [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 March 2000 12:12 To: Dawn Hendrick Subject: RE: MI School GIS projects I wrote an application whilst working for MapINfo Australia called SISIC which was aimed at this age group.
