I was pleasantly surprised to see a teacher on the front page of the newspaper this morning. The story is about how Dino Crapsi has made a difference in his classroom and community.

This is the picture of Dino Crapsi that appeared on the front page today. It is a bit hard to tell from the picture, but he is wearing a vest that is accurate map of the world. Right away you can see the passion that he has for his subject. He teaches high school geography and incorporates technology in an amazing way.

Mr. Crapsi uses Geographic Information System or GIS in his teaching. It is a computer application that allows the user to map out all sorts of data. His students have won awards using it. It sounds like an excellent program.
