I recently co-conducted a series of GIS workshops for educators online and recorded much of the hands-on work for the purposes of (1) illustrating what and how these types of events can be structured and taught; (2) showing how you also can use these easy to use yet powerful web based tools such as ArcGIS Online and web mapping applications for enhanced teaching and learning.

1 of 4: Introduction, Sports, Business, Health, Geopolitics, and Natural Hazards:

I hope these videos are helpful.

About the Author

I believe that spatial thinking can transform education and society through the application of Geographic Information Systems for instruction, research, administration, and policy. I hold 3 degrees in Geography, have served at NOAA, the US Census Bureau, and USGS as a cartographer and geographer, and teach a variety of F2F (Face to Face) (including T3G) and online courses. I have authored a variety of books and textbooks about the environment, STEM, GIS, and education. These include "Interpreting Our World", "Essentials of the Environment", "Tribal GIS", "The GIS Guide to Public Domain Data", "International Perspectives on Teaching and Learning with GIS In Secondary Education", "Spatial Mathematics" and others. I write for 2 blogs, 2 monthly podcasts, and a variety of journals, and have created over 6,500 videos on my Our Earth YouTube channel. Yet, as time passes, the more I realize my own limitations and that this is a lifelong learning endeavor: Thus I actively seek mentors and collaborators.
