The
PCEE
Events Calendar
Welcome to a network of possibilities!
The Environmental Education Calendar Network harnesses the
capabilities of the Internet to provide a central location
for Pennsylvanians to find out what's happening in environmental
education around the state. Participating organizations
and
agencies share data about environmental education events,
providing web site visitors with one-stop-shopping for
information
on EE workshops, informal programs, conferences, symposia,
trainings, volunteer opportunities and meetings.
Get on board and enjoy the benefits of the "information
age!"
Posting an event to the EE Events Calendar Network requires
only a small initial investment of time and then future
entries
are a snap. Background information is stored for each organization
that enters a calendar event (name, address, contacts,
program
descriptions). Future entries take minimal effort since
there is no need to re-enter this basic data. Participating
organizations
need only to enter the event information into the database
once, and it is automatically sent to participating calendars
around
the state.
Training and short workshops on how to use the submission
form are available from the Pennsylvania Resources Council
or the Pennsylvania Center for Environmental Education. Organizations
wishing to participate in the calendar network, either by
getting their own calendar for their Web site or by entering
events into the shared database, should contact the Pennsylvania
Center for Environmental Education, (724) 738-9020, E-mail:
info@pcee.org or
the education coordinator at the Pennsylvania Resources Council,
(412)
488-7438,
E-mail: halk@ccicenter.org.
Find just what you are looking for with customized searches!
Want to check if there is a spring EE workshop in your region?
Calendar users can do customized searches to seek out those
events in which they have the greatest interest. For example,
visitors can search the calendar by Pennsylvania regions,
time spans, and types of events.
Join the network and get a unique calendar for your organization
or agency Web site! Participating organizations can select
the types of calendars they want to create for their web
sites and control the level of data sharing. Web site design
for
the calendars is provided by EE-Link, a national/international
environmental education clearinghouse.
About the Network
The EE Events Calendar Network began as a collaborative pilot
project involving environmental organizations in the southwest
region of Pennsylvania but is now going statewide. Start-up
funding was provided by the Grable Foundation, and additional
support was provided by the North American Association for Environmental
Education, the Pennsylvania Resources Council, and the Pennsylvania
Center for Environmental Education. |
