I conducted a workshop on comparing field data collection apps--ArcGIS Field Maps, ArcGIS Survey123, and ArcGIS QuickCapture, and wanted to share the content beyond those who could participate in the session, to the wider community.  I do hope this resource is helpful!

This is a short walk-through of the 2023 Esri User Conference Exhibit Hall designed to help CTE and college majors understand the types of organizations that offer products or services related to ArcGIS. The video is shot in 360 degrees - allowing for mouse movement of the video during playback or for watching immersively in a VR headset.

There are very few topics to which GIS cannot add understanding.  One fun and engaging example is the examination of solar eclipses, illustrated in this short lesson with a data set that you can dig into with your students, to foster spatial thinking, critical thinking, content knowledge about Earth-Sun relationships, and engagement with mapping tools.  

Check out the 2023 Esri Innovation Program (EIP) Student of Year nominations - examples of wonderful  work done by students!

In this new lesson I invite you to explore the depths of the Great Lakes with ArcGIS Online using several straightforward yet powerful tools.  One could also consider this lesson my tribute to musician Gordon Lightfoot for reasons I describe here.  

If you’re a higher education student, consider attending Esri UC July 15-19, 2024! Esri UC is the world’s largest GIS conference and if you're a higher ed student, it's an ideal opportunity to expand your network, further develop yours GIS skills, learn about innovative trends, and get inspired.

Deep learning enables us to identify patterns and insights from data that were once difficult to detect with traditional methods. The Esri education team recently conducted a webinar on the topic of “Unlocking the Power of Deep Learning Applications Using ArcGIS.  This blog provides links to the resources.

Watch the webinar recording to learn about the deep learning analysis capabilities in ArcGIS. 

Scripting and modelling play a crucial role in the spatial data science framework and are essential skills in any data science-related courses. ArcGIS Notebooks provide a seamless way to work with Python code and spatial data from within ArcGIS platform.  It is a tool for GIS professionals, data scientists, and developers who want to work with geospatial data in a collaborative and interactive environment.
