From this past week of GSA Penrose Google Earth talks and posters, my head is swimming with ideas. There were people here from all areas of expertise and from very different backgrounds. Most were geology professors, but there were some of us who are geospatial and/or educational technologists. There were course designers, academic press reps, and folks from funding agencies. I think there was so much enthusiasm at this conference that I do not believe this is the end of the conversation. It is the beginning.
Again, I will just copy in the tweets from the day. The links give a good overview of what we heard.

But the shirt I'm wearing makes it too easy to pick me out at #GEPenrose... http://gigapan.org/gigapans/68275/ Really inspired by #GEPenrose... want to work on developing some new GE exercises to try out this semester. Too bad classes start on Monday! Now moved from #GEPenrose to @michibusch 's place. And that's a wrap for #GEPenrose!
