When I show educators how Esri can help bring classroom subjects to life, they are ready to jump in and want to know what lessons we have available for them. And now I can give an easy answer: check out the Classroom activities gallery!

This new app contains a curated set of lessons and activities for use in the classroom. They are categorized and searchable, making it easier to take the topic you are teaching and find a mapping activity to complement it.

It includes the latest and recommended GeoInquiries (including many using MapMaker), as well as StoryMaps exploring Earth Science, Geography, Human Geography, and more. And we’ll be adding additional lessons once they are reviewed. (Have one you’d like considered? Email us – schools@esri.com.)

We are pleased to have new classroom lessons for MapMaker made in collaboration with National Geographic included in the gallery. Explore topics like biomes and temperatures with step-by-step activities, videos, and prepared maps. Each has a teacher guide along with student activities in formats you can easily edit for your classroom. We’d love to hear what you think of these. Check out the “featured” category in the app and let us know how they work in your classroom!

Happy mapping!

Our kids need GIS in their problem-solving toolboxes. I'm working to get digital maps into each K-12 classroom and the hands of each child. A long-time Esri employee, I've previously worked on Esri's mobile apps, focused on documentation and best practices. Out of the office I'm a runner often found on the trails or chasing my children.
