Who We Are

About The Name Change

The 2010 Teaching with Spatial Technology (TwiST) Workshop marks the third year for this event under this name. Prior to 2008, the event was the called the Conference on Remote Sensing Education (CORSE). The name has changed to more accurately reflect the addition of other geospatial technologies - GIS, GPS and Google Earth - into the materials used in today's classrooms.

CORSE History

An initiative for a remote sensing educational program developed in the early 1990s with seed funding from NASA's Earth Science Applications Program. As a result of that initiative, the first CORSE conference was held in Boulder, Colorado in 1999 and continued in Gulfport, Mississippi in 2000.

Further assistance to support CORSE came from the International Center for Remote Sensing Education (ICRSEdu) in conjunction with the Remote Sensing Core Curriculum (RSCC) and the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS). RSCC is a program developed to meet the needs for a remote sensing core curriculum at the national level as defined by the ASPRS members in cooperation with the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCGIA), NASA, and Earth Observation Satellite Company (EOSAT).

From 2001 to 2007, CORSE was held at Cayuga Community College in Auburn, NY under the support from the Institute for the Application of Geospatial Technology (IAGT) with additional outside support coming from SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry, NASA, Mid Hudson Service Learning Institute and the NYS Department of Education.

The Future

CORSE has developed from a workshop with a single track focus to one that can accommodate varying skill levels, ages, and roles in society. As such the conference, under the new name TwiST, will continue to adjust and incorporate advancing geospatial technologies that enhance our understanding of the world around us.
