In summer 2025, the GLO Archives is offering a series of webinars on teaching with maps. Participants will learn how to build lesson plans and integrate historical and GIS maps in the GLO collections into classroom learning. All K-12 Texas, U.S., and Geography teachers are welcome to attend. Those new to teaching or new to teaching with maps will especially benefit.
