New ArcGIS for Schools Bundle Administration Guides
There is a new guide for managing your ArcGIS organization to help K-12 schools and districts. From setup through the management of an established school resource, the guides have instructions and recommendations for the tasks you’ll face. You’ll find it at https://esriurl.com/k12agoadmin.
Guide A – Quick Start
Once you get your ArcGIS for Schools Bundle, your first task is to set up your organization. Guide A – Quick Start takes you from the software activation email through setting up your online space and creating secure accounts for your users, maintaining compliance with common student privacy regulations such as COPPA, FERPA, and GDPR.
Once you’ve followed this guide, your teachers and students can use ArcGIS Online, web and mobile apps, and data – the most popular components of the ArcGIS for Schools Bundle.
Guide B – Organization Management
With teachers and students doing amazing work in your ArcGIS organization, it becomes an active space that maintenance helps keep organized. Over the last year, you have seen blog posts with administration tips and tricks. Now they are all available (and kept updated) in Guide B – Organization Management.
This guide describes management processes used by people responsible for maintaining the ArcGIS for Schools Bundle. It takes you through managing ArcGIS Online accounts and items, including when and how to disable and delete accounts, and delete and store items. It enables you to keep your ArcGIS organization orderly as it grows in accounts and items, and ensures the right people have access and the right content is stored. And it provides information about management tools to make your life easier.
