Here is what some past participants have had to say about GeoFest:

"C-GEO fests and trainings throughout the year are the only reason I have an understanding of geographic literacy!"

"I hope to spearhead our school's first ever Family Geography Night"

"I can't wait to implement geo-technologies into my classroom"

"My students are screaming for new ways to use technology in the classroom and the Google presentations will definitely help."

"I think of geography as more than "just maps" now."

"I loved the swag bags and prizes. Get to take things into the classroom."
