How to find ArcGIS.com Gallery from organizational account?

Question

I work with a large number of first-time GIS users, providing technical support to university classes that use ArcGIS.com to provide GIS enhancement to non-GIS content courses.  In the past we had the students create free accounts and we added them to groups we created for each course.  Now we will be creating organizational accounts for these students.

With the old free accounts, the Map Gallery that users saw included examples from a wide variety of ArcGIS Online users and was a great place to send students to see the many topics that GIS could be applied to.  With the organizational accounts, our students are limited to seeing only maps from our organization in their Gallery.

We have some good maps for them to look at, but would prefer to be able to show students the public Map Gallery.  Is there a way this can be done?

Thanks in advance,

Sorry, my mistake. You can't set an organization's gallery page to the Esri gallery. It can only point to one of the organization's groups.

As far as logins go, your organizational website is a completely different site than arcgis.com (even though it looks. Thus, your login doesn't transfer between the two.

In any case, here's a link to the group that populates the default gallery.

I set this task aside to work on other things, but now back at it.  I am still unable to add items from Esri's default gallery to the gallery of my organizational account.  Additionally, when I am logged in to my organizational account and then go to look at the ArcGIS.com home page, I get logged out of my organizational account.  So there's no way for me to share items from the ArcGIS.com gallery to one of my personal groups.

Is there anyone at Esri who knows how to do this? Feeling very frustrated with the changes to ArcGIS Online.
