Bio for Joseph Kerski



Greetings and Aloha Everyone! I am a geographer by training, stationed in Colorado, and I believe that spatial analysis with geotechnologies can enrich, enhance, and transform education and society. That's basically it in a nutshell! I serve on the education team at Esri, focusing on curriculum development, professional development for educators, communications and partnerships to promote GIS in teaching and learning, and some research on the effectiveness and implementation of GIS in education. I have worked with Diana on the Waihe'e Preserve; great to see someone else mention this wonderful place already. I traveled to AK when I worked at the USGS (I also worked at the US Census Bureau) and I have taught with Diana several times in HI. As a geographer, I value and treasure places, and as an educator, I respect and value all of you educators and students. I look forward to learning from you all and thank Diana for setting this up!
