Joseph you make a great point about why GIS education matters across the board. It's not just about maps; it's about giving students tools to understand the world and solve problems, whether they're studying business, health, or the environment. If you're not a geography nerd or a scientist, you might not even know what GIS stands for! That's why it's so important for us to spread the word and show people why it's relevant to their lives and careers. It's not just up to educators and big organizations to push GIS education forward, as users we can be ambassadors by volunteering at a local school, sharing resources with teachers, or just talking to people about why GIS matters. I'm with you @JosephKerski, let's keep spreading the word about GIS education and empowering the next generation of problem-solvers!

I have been struggling with this myself for a number of projects and couldn't seem to suss out an answer on the docs. Thanks for this solution.

Hi Lynn, At my college we have a 3 year rolling hardware upgrade plan. We replace 1/3 of the 25 GIS Lab computers each year. But we have been warned that this is unsustainable and will be moving to a Bring Your Own Device model over the next few years. I am trying to figure out the best way to implement this and considering some kind of VM-Ware environment, but stymied at the budgeting and implementation of this. How are other VM enable colleges and universities doing this? Is it costly, how is it budgeted, etc. When I forwarded some of the Blog Discussions and Whitepapers to the IT dept., they just about flipped out on who was going to fund this, monitor, get it going, etc. I'd be interested in discussing this with someone who has already gone there. I know it was discussed at some length in last years Education Summit.

A quick question for the ESRI guru's, or others:) In the past there were several helpful videos on the ESRI E360 video page. I have often just given students the links to these to go watch a short (or longer depending) couple of minute video on a topic. I have noticed however that many of these short videos have been disappearing from E360. In particular, there was a fantastic set of short editing and topology videos done by Rhonda Glennon (I think) each a couple minutes long. Creating Map Topology (2 min) https://www.esri.com/videos/search?text=creating-a-map-topology Moving Topology Edges (2 min) https://www.esri.com/videos/search?text=moving-topology-edges Reshaping Topology Edges (2 min) https://www.esri.com/videos/search?text=reshaping-topology-edges Aligning Edges to Fix Gaps (2 min) https://www.esri.com/videos/search?text=aligning-edges-to-fix-gaps-between-polygons Aligning by Tracing (2 min) https://www.esri.com/videos/search?text=aligning-features-by-tracing Generalizing Shared Edges (2min) https://www.esri.com/videos/search?text=generalizing-shared-edges Does anyone know where these went, I cannot find them on the ESRI Youtube channel either. I know, I know ... you are going to say we should be using ArcPro for editing, but many of our employers are not at the Pro stage yet.

I have some duck nest data and looking for some advice on analysis. The attribute table has a columns for year from 2010 to 2015 and are a simple 0 or 1 for use in that year. There is a core group of nests for all years, however new nests were added each year. What is the best approach to analyze the use of the nests over the 5 year period. I have played around with hotspot by year. Any other advice or options you might consider?
