Education Tidbits
Dr. Michael Scott of Salisbury University in Maryland teaches in the Geography and Geographic Sciences Department in the Richard A. Henson School of Science and Technology. He's won the University System of Maryland's Wilson H. Elkins Professorship including an $80,000 award.
In 2004, Scott established the Eastern Shore Regional Geographic Center which supports GIS in the regional and in local governments. The Center and has traced pollution in septic systems for the Maryland Department of the Environment, surveyed sensitive wetlands in Georgia, and digitizing Captain John Smith's 1612 exploratory map of the Chesapeake Bay. Scott founded the university's GIS-public administration master's program in 2007; it's the first of its kind in the country.

OGC has announced a new website with learning resources. There is no way to search - there are broad topic and format categories ("mass media articles, " "video""compliance"). There's also no way until you click through to the resource to know its source or date. I hope OGC will consider letting users help tag (informal) or add metadata (formal) to the resources.
