As the K-12 team here at Esri, we are always looking for ways to make it easier for teachers to engage with GIS. We’ve recently updated our website to improve access to resources and information about bringing GIS to classrooms.
You’ll now find:
- A breakdown of the software and accounts needed for different phases of your GIS journey, including not using an account, to public accounts for adults, and culminating in the ArcGIS for Schools Bundle. (Find it on our Mapping Software for K-12 Instruction page.)
- A lesson page with quick links into the Classroom Activities Gallery and right to the subject you are teaching. (Find it on our Find lessons page.)
- Professional development resources for teachers, starting with GIS fundamentals and optionally progressing into map authoring, data collection, and analysis. (Find it on our Build Your GIS Skills page.)
- Resources and recommendations for doing spatial projects in the classroom. (Find it on our Empower project-based learning page.)
We hope this update helps you find what you need. We'd appreciate any feedback. Email us: schools@esri.com.
