If you haven't yet discovered it, Learn ArcGIS is a website offering free scenario-based lessons to guide you through learning any Esri product. Included with Learn ArcGIS is Teach with GIS, an implementation guide for teachers, schools, and districts, to help you get started with incorporating GIS into your classroom or curriculum.  

Our hope is that you, as educators, can use this GeoNet space to connect with one another as a community centered around sharing, implementing, and creating learning materials for GIS.

Where new teachers, and teachers new to GIS, can come for advice.

Where experienced GIS educators can share their knowledge.

Where you can give us feedback about how Learn lessons are working in your classroom.

Where you can propose new content for the Learn ArcGIS site.

Where you can share your own GIS lessons and exercises with your peers, and collaborate on new ones.

We're most excited for the last point. We want to see what you have made! That being said, if you are not an educator but you have GIS lessons or workflows to share or seek or propose - then you too have come to the right place.
