A plethora of StoryMaps exist on a variety of map-based topics, including topics you cover in your classroom. StoryMaps are an engaging way to explore maps and their story, so here's a StoryMap about how to get the most out of using these resources: Tips for using a StoryMap in the Classroom.

This story includes 3 tips I often give to help educators get comfortable using a StoryMap and also get the most out of it. You'd be surprised how often the 2nd tip is overlooked!

While this StoryMap is focused on tips for using StoryMaps, we also have tips for authoring them! If you are ready to create your own StoryMap, check out the ArcGIS StoryMaps Resources page.

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.
