Goal: To introduce web mapping technology to natural resource practitioners and Cooperative Extension educators with hands on experience focused on practical examples.

Workshop Content: This workshop has been designed for participants interested in web mapping with little to no GIS or web experience, and will include practical exercises for you to begin developing your own web maps with a Google Maps API.
