The Esri K12 team will be at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) conference in Denver, Colorado on June 23-26. We will in the exhibit hall in booth 640.

An Atlas is a type of an ArcGIS Instant App – and really easy to create if you already have an ArcGIS Group that contains the maps or data you want to appear in the Atlas. In this blog I show three ways to manually embed your atlas or atlas content into a storymap.

Connecting components of modern GIS, including field surveys, dashboards, interactive maps, spatial analysis, and multimedia web mapping applications such as dashboards and story maps help organizations understand key local issues and situations and take action.  In education, they help foster spatial thinking, critical thinking, and rigorous use of GIS tools and data.  This workshop and lesson guides you through the creation of a survey in Survey123, mapping the resulting data in ArcGIS Online, analyzing the data, creating and using an ArcGIS Dashboard, and creating an ArcGIS StoryMap.  It does so through 8 lesson components:  4 introductory lessons, followed by 4 "deeper dives" lessons. 

In this webinar, June 6, from 10am - 11am (PT), you'll discover how to harness the potential of geospatial AI, empowering faculty members, researchers, and students to seamlessly integrate this innovative technology into their work within ArcGIS.

Last year Esri introduced a certification exam that’s appropriate for teachers and high school students with 150+ hours of training in GIS. To keep the exam current, it is regularly reviewed and updated. You’ll find a new version available with some key updates.

Grab your virtual reality headset and get over to these ten storymaps with virtual field trips.

Explore the growth and value of standards-based, "curriculum-first" instructional materials for use in K12 classrooms.

Drones are becoming more popular and accessible for various applications, such as surveying, monitoring, inspection, and research. Drone imagery has become a popular input data for image and GIS analysis. 

Processing drone imagery and creating useful information products are skills that students should learn before they can use them for analysis.   That's where ArcGIS Drone2Map comes in handy.

I have been asked to share all of my workshops and presentations from the 2024 AAG American Association of Geographers Annual Meeting, covering a variety of topics and themes, which I am happy to do, here.
