What you are describing is the way ArcGIS Online works. Before you delete someone, be sure you have "changed the owner" for any content of value from that user's account -- that will move it from one login to another. Follow the guidance from the AGO documentation: Manage items—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS This is where good practices on naming items, creating and using personal folders, writing good metadata (tags and descriptions), and sharing items in groups all matter hugely. When you write "we can not use it [NPS's Org] to teach," if you mean you want an Org in which you can give people short-term logins (for as long as the training event is underway, e.g. 1-5 days) with which they can experience what it's like to do activities within an Org, that's what you as a T3G alum can do in the T3G Org. If you mean you want to have the teachers maintain logins so they can stay engaged in a project, you may need your own Org, and we can discuss that by email. If you mean you want the teachers to use the Org for teaching their classes, that's when you need to think about (a) teachers get their own Org, AND (b) they and their students access content you have shared with a group or with the public.

Snap2Map is fussy on Cap/small letters in your login. (Some apps, such as AGO MapViewer, are not fussy about capitalization in username.) I suggest trying in sequence: Log in to AGO Map Viewer to review what "should work" Go to http://www.arcgis.com/home/troubleshoot.html and request your usernames, to get a listing of the exact capitalization used in your usernames Flick-quit Snap2Map to make sure it has been completely exited. Might even try cold-booting the phone Test your login. It should work. Charlie

At the 2017 Esri User Conference, Esri launched its boldest offering ever for schools and clubs. The new "ArcGIS School Bundle" includes three products: ArcGIS Desktop (includes ArcGIS Pro Advanced, ArcMap Advanced, and Extensions for Pro and ArcMap) ArcGIS Online Organization Community Analyst This combination has provided the highest level of service for the greatest number of users in schools and clubs, and offers enormous utility, from elementary level exploration to in-depth localized projects to full-scale professional career training. It is available in sizes that work well for home school or small club settings on up to large district-based configurations. The Schools Bundle is available, for instructional purposes only (not administrative use or commercial use), to all K12 (primary and secondary) schools, public or non-public (including home schools). It is available also to youth-serving clubs, such as 4-H, Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs, and so forth. And … the Schools Bundle is available worldwide, for free (in USA click here; outside USA through local Esri distributors). This is a huge investment in education of youth globally. But, from even before the launch of Esri's formal programs for both K12 schools and higher education in 1992, Esri has been on a mission: to help more people grasp why and how to understand the complex patterns and relationships in a vast array of data about the world, at scales from global to local, exploring situations and solving problems, by thinking geographically, using GIS. Education is a core ethic of Esri; it's in our DNA. This new "ArcGIS School Bundle" is free for schools and clubs across the globe, to use anytime, anywhere, on any connected device. Making informed decisions is essential for everyone. Learning to do that takes time, and can happen in both formal and informal settings. Education that engages The Science of Where can save the world. Charlie Fitzpatrick, Esri Education Manager

When 4-H youth take on a challenge, they engage head, heart, hands, and health. So it was with three teens from Tennessee, who spoke to about 15,000 GIS users at the 2017 Esri User Conference. Austin Ramsey (recent high school grad), Elizabeth Sutphin (rising senior), and Amanda Huggins (rising junior), collaborating with other 4-H youth from California, New York, and North Carolina, tackled a big issue during the 2016-17 school year. They chose health as a year-long topic, focusing on obesity across the US. They followed the "geographic method" step by step: they asked a significant geographic question, gathered data, explored it, analyzed it, and acted on it. Awash in variables from countyhealthrankings.org, they chose four and examined the relationship of each to obesity. Their initial work was in ArcMap, but in prep for the stage, the Tennessee trio stepped up into ArcGIS Pro. The powerful statistical analyses available in Pro added important clarity. An appearance by Roxana Ayala reinforced that youth who build GIS skills have worlds of opportunity. In 2013, Ayala presented on stage as part of a ground-breaking high school team. Now a rising college senior, she is putting her GIS skills to work in a summer internship that combines her two majors of environmental science and urban planning. Learning GIS in school changed her trajectory, and she, in turn, is focusing on changing it for others. Young people with passion, commitment, and the chance to use GIS can make a big difference, in a short time and for years to come. Engaging The Science of Where, these youth embody the 4-H pledge, building a better future for themselves, their community, their country, and the world. Charlie Fitzpatrick, Esri Education Manager

What do iron mines, a flooded town, a national historic park, and public access to state parks have in common? These were topics addressed by students in Esri's 2017 ArcGIS Online Competition for High School and Middle School. These four earned the top prize and honorable mention at high school (grades 9-12) and middle school (grades 4-8) levels, in a competition where everyone was restricted to showing something of interest inside their state. The competition had three levels: school, state, and national. Schools could send no more than five entries to the state, and some schools had dozens of entries, so "Level One" was a real challenge for some teachers. At the state level, up to five entries at high school and up to five entries at middle school were awarded prizes of $100 each. All those entries were forwarded to Esri for collating, with each state choosing one high school and one middle school project for the final national competition. Students could work singly or with a partner. They needed to do research and use ArcGIS Online to create a web app, map viewer presentation, or Story Map. Judges at each level looked for careful documentation, analytical thinking, self-generated data, and a compelling story presented well. These skill sets will serve students well going forward, in college, career, and civic life, but they take time and practice to build. Many mentors and judges at school, state, and national levels are already looking forward to next year, expecting even more and stronger entries. Start planning now for the 2018 event, by checking out 2017's top four honorees, and all the other state awardees (see Map#2)!

Happy end of the school year, T3Gers! As you wrap up your year and put away the chalk (eh?) and the year's photo albums one last time, please keep in mind that we are ALWAYS on the lookout for stories, synopses, situational syntheses … anything about your experiences with your students using GIS this year. People constantly seek from us info about operations and students and teaching at every level, every environment, with every technology, on every imaginable subject. (I've been asked for info as specific as "upper elementary kids doing career prep activities on Chromebooks.") Please don't hesitate to share with us what was memorable, powerful, useful, or even mundane. You can share these to the T3G Alum group (reply to this), or to http://esriurl.com/shareyouredstory, or just a private email to me if you like. We always want to hear … anything!

You can see the general rubric that was recommended to states, and some states tweaked these. The general, national rubric is visible in Part IV at https://community.esri.com/message/648602-arcgis-online-us-school-competition-2017 See your state's website to explore if there were modifications posted.

June 1, 2017, marked the 25th birthday for Esri's program for K12 Schools. That event was overshadowed by the release of ArcView 1.0 for Windows 3. The technology landscape then was infantile: no www, wifi, cell phones, robust computers in all shapes and sizes, galaxies of data, and so on. Esri's software today is vastly different from that of 1992, leveraging all these developments and reaching into almost every industry. In 1992, I knew of two high schools using GIS. In 2017, students in primary school use GIS to explore the neighborhood, map critter locations, or journal a field trip. Middle school students build their history background, investigate earthquake patterns, or track a figure in literature. High school students generate surveys to crowd-source public experiences, analyze community patterns to solve problems, and take courses online to build skills for internships. Despite the changes, much is as before. Users grapple with the three questions that topped the chalkboard of my classroom: "What's where? Why is it there? So what?" Some grand patterns and big relationships of our world are now more easily discovered and displayed, but infinitely many more questions rise to take their place. How do we protect our environment, advance the human condition, and build our collective knowledge base, while preserving and protecting what we hold dear? Esri began our program for schools with one mission: Help students and communities experience why and how to explore the world, by thinking geographically, using GIS, in order to understand the patterns and relationships, make better decisions, and solve problems. You can see it in the eyes and hear it in the questions of even very young minds as they contemplate the many layers of our world … "What… Where… Why…?" Twenty-five years later, Esri remains focused on helping learners of all ages grasp and engage The Science Of Where.

K12 student maps submitted to Esri's UC collection process could end up with the Library of Congress!!! See http://www.esri.com/about/events/uc/get-involved and especially the Map Gallery link, http://www.esri.com/about/events/uc/get-involved/map-gallery and note especially the section that says: Be Considered for Next Year’s Map Book To have your map considered for publication in the next edition of the Esri Map Book, select the appropriate box in step two of the Map Gallery submission form, and leave your map on display after the conference. If you prefer to retain your map and not be considered for the book, you MUST remove it between 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 13. New this Year: Esri and the Library of Congress (LOC) have partnered to create a permanent collection of maps created by students between Kindergarten and High School This exciting opportunity will allow students’ printed maps to be considered for the Library of Congress collections. To be considered you must submit your map in one of the two categories for students between Kindergarten and High School and express your interest when you complete your submission. We will follow up with interested participants to provide more information and collect permissions forms. Who out there has students who want their maps in the LOC?
