Wisconsin educators have a new go-to resource with the introduction of

the Wisconsin Great Lakes Education Clearinghouse network. The online

Great Lakes clearinghouse adds a new dimension to a statewide website

already rich in environmental information for teachers in this state:

Environmental Education in Wisconsin, at: http://www.eeinwisconsin.org/

The clearinghouse, funded by the Wisconsin Department of

Administration's Wisconsin Coastal Management Program, provides

Wisconsin educators with Great Lakes curricula and educational materials

in addition to other Great Lakes resources, such as:

* Great Lakes field trips and programs

* Professional development opportunities for Great Lakes educators

* Great Lakes service learning and volunteering opportunities (for

teachers and students)

* Great Lakes events

* ...and coming soon a Great Lakes discussion forum and blog

The Alliance continues to encourage other Great Lakes organizations and

information providers to contribute their educational resources to the

new clearinghouse in an effort to broaden and enrich the network as much

as possible. Continue to checkout WGLEC as resources will be approved by

the moderator and added continuously.

If you would like to become a member of the WGLEC network, get your

events onto the events calendar, receive updates and information

regarding the Great Lakes, and help us to shape Great Lakes education
