The Tutor/Mentor Connection incorporates various forms of visualization to illustrate its ideas and to support the involvement of others in helping tutor/mentor programs grow in many locations. Our maps are created using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, while our visualizations are created using a variety of applications.

In the Links library of the T/MC site are a variety of articles illustrating uses of <a href="http://www.tutormentorconnection.org/LinksLearningNetwork/LinksLibrary/tabid/560/rrcid/10/rrscid/80/rrpid/1/rrepp/20/Default.aspx" target="_blank">maps</a> and <a href="http://www.tutormentorconnection.org/LinksLearningNetwork/LinksLibrary/tabid/560/rrcid/13/rrscid/25/rrpid/1/rrepp/20/Default.aspx" target="_blank">visualizations</a>. In the Chicago <a href="http://www.tutormentorprogramlocator.net/" target="_blank">Tutor/Mentor Program Locator</a> we support the involvement of volunteers, parents, youth and donors in tutor/mentor programs serving every high poverty area of Chicago.<br />

This is a map I created using the new <a href="http://www.tutormentorprogramlocator.net/InteractiveMap.aspx">Program Locator</a> service. I first created the map view by zooming in to Cabrini Green part of Chicago. Then I added info on poverty and schools by clicking the buttons that turn on those layers of information. When the map was the way I wanted it, I hit the "print screen" button on my computer to copy the image.<br />

Then I opened Adobe Photoshop and pasted the image onto a new screen. I cropped it and added some text, then saved it as a jpg. Once I did that I was able to put this in a <a href="http://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2009/06/school-rivals-set-to-merge-in-shadows.html">blog</a> article and on this ning page.

We have moved the interactive map to a new server, and changed the home page search so it only shows tutor/mentor programs when the site opens. You can view this <a href="http://65.182.111.82/Programlocator/InteractiveMap.aspx">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Mike is working on a new Rest of the Story map gallery, borrowing from Jim Cory's work. Ganesh is adding the presentation by TaeHo to the home page as an "introduction".<br />

We also need to find sponsors who will provide $5,000 per month to support the on-going mapping we do and the maintenance of this site. If you can introduce donors/sponsors to this, that will help us find this money.
