Fun with GIS 303: Spruce Up Your Homepage
Calling all ArcGIS School Bundle admins! Did your software license begin before June 2020? If so, your Organization's homepage may still use the original template. It was OK back then, but wasn't mobile friendly, and didn't let you have as much control. In the March 2022 update, any Orgs still using the old template will be automatically upgraded to the newest. So it's a good time for Org admins to adjust your setup, old or new.
Admins, are you greeted with this alert when you log in (highlight ring mine)?
Even if you don't see the first notice, you might see this indication (highlight ring mine):
Regardless, your homepage may still need a makeover. Can you remember where to do it?
Think about making your homepage reflect your entire school/district/state. How about a nice image, plus a locator map for the students, teacher, parents, GIS professionals, and outside world who wonder about location? Maybe make some new content easily accessible, or add important GIS events for the school, like the ArcGIS Online Competition underway, with your school's deadline and a link for info. Or highlighting projects done by classes.
