Extractions: Return to: All News CONTACT: Gila Reinstein #228 For Immediate Release: March 13, 1998 New Haven, Conn. A $1 million endowment to boost geography education in Connecticut local schools will be launched by the National Geographic Society, the Connecticut Resource Recovery Authority and Yale University next week. National Geographic Society -NGS- Chairman Gilbert M. Grosvenor and Connecticut Resource Recovery Authority -CRRA- Acting President Robert Wright will sign an agreement on Monday, March 16, at North Haven Middle School, making Connecticut the seventh state in the nation to receive an endowment from the NGS Education Fund to support the teaching of geography in primary and secondary schools. Under the leadership of Grosvenor -Yale '54-, NGS has spearheaded a $100 million initiative to raise the standard and level of enthusiasm for the study of geography in the nation's schools. The NGS Education Fund does this primarily by matching grants to a network of 50 state alliances to support geography education and teacher training. The endowment program enables states to create a permanent and growing funding base for teaching geography to their students. The Connecticut endowment, to be known as the Connecticut Fund for Geography Education, is the outgrowth of an unusual and committed group of individuals and organizations throughout the state. The initiative to improve geography education has been led by the Connecticut Geographic Alliance -CGA-, a 10-year-old organization of geographers, education program providers and teachers, created with the support of the University of Connecticut Geography Department, the State Department of Education, and the Yale Center for International and Area Studies. Since its formation, CGA has initiated activities to support student mastery of geography, curriculum and teacher training in geography, and in-service programs that use geography to address a broad range of interdisciplinary, environmental and international issues.

Extractions: Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home The Community and You: Learning Your Way Around Fair Haven, by Benjamin A. Gorman This unit is designed to be used with eighth grade social studies classes, but could be used with any students in the Fair Haven community of New Haven. It should serve as an introduction activity early in the school year for students and is aimed at low/middle achievers to get them located in place geography and make them aware of the history of their community. Three topics are presented that illustrate historical development and change: the role of oystering, the influx of immigrants, and industrial growth. Each has informational background for the teacher and slices of the past, through the related fictional stories, will provide the needed sense of change over time. The stories show that stress and change are common in any community. Fair Haven may become more than a place in which to live, work and recreate; it may become a community with a past. A series of mapping activities will illustrate Fair Havens street geography and its place relationship with the area around it. For many of our students, there is no human connection with the history of their present community and the visual past does not always exist for them to view. This unit can serve as one stepping stone in the study of the Western Hemisphere; after learning their way around their community, the scope of study can be expanded accordingly.

UConn Center for Geographic Information Analysis The DEC Alpha 4000 that has served as the MAGIC server for the past six years died Thursday, Sept. 12th. The motherboard was having problems providing power. The CPU fan stopped and we pronounced AlphaMAGIC dead. John Gwinnell, the MAGIC systems administrator, worked over the weekend and has ported all the data (over 100 Gigabytes on a 10 Megabit wire) over to another, albeit older, working system. So, while things are getting back to normal, it will take some time to assure that ALL is working again. Remember, MAGIC is a library, and things happen to libraries, like floods, earthquakes, leaky roofs and silverfish infestations. Now the real work of getting another server for MAGIC is at hand. These are tight fiscal times, as you all know. Fortunately "Friends of MAGIC" have come forward. But if you too would like to be a Friend of MAGIC and donate toward a new, robust, shiny, speedy server, please let me, Patrick McGlamery know.
