Lisa McCray is currently working as an independent consultant helping teachers create lessons and use geospatial technologies within their curriculum. For over seven years she has been conducting workshops, making presentations and giving one-on-one help both in Virginia and out. She retired after 35 years in education as a classroom teacher in math and humanities and then as gifted program coordinator. She now can spend more time cooperating with teachers in many disciplines and grade levels who can see the potential for higher level thinking and problem solving that is inherent in the use of geospatial technologies.======

Fred Hoffman started his fifth decade of teaching that has included four continents. His teaching has included physics each of those years. The last twenty-plus years have been at the Roanoke Valley Governor’s School. GIS was added ten years ago by taking a workshop at JMU and then teaching an elective ever since. He has done numerous presentations and workshops over the years in educational technology, physics and GIS. has been an adjunct instructor for UVA, JMU, and VWCC for both dual-enrollment and professional courses.
