This short article describes a process where Python was used to harvest metadata from a list of identified ArcGIS Online maps and the maps’ data services. The data were logged to MySQL (with pymysql); a PHP web search and discovery page was created. The process allows for keyword searching in titles and descriptions of maps and data layers.

If you are interested in a copy of all nine GeoInquiry™ collections including the new Level 2 activities on your school/district organization, send an email to [email protected] the following information:
The school AGO organization URL
A new/empty username in that organization. We generally recommend a username like: "geoinquiries.myschoolname" or "geoinquiries.schoolmascotname".
The password for the user account
The Esri Schools team will access your organization via the user account and create groups and link to GeoInquiries. This will allow teachers (or students) to search and discover GeoInquiry activities within the organization. This process is effectively a snapshot. The content on your organization will show future updates to existing activities but will not automatically add new collections or activities. The later will require a new copy.
For more information about GeoInquiries see http://www.esri.com/geoinquiries. To discuss or join the GeoInquiries community, see https://community.esri.com/groups/k12-instruction/projects/geoinquiries

The experimental GeoInquiry search tool allows an instructional designer or advanced GeoInquiry user to search GeoInquiry maps and data for keywords (and optionally add that data to their own map). The tool includes all Esri produced geoinquiries but also state GeoInquiries content. For example, a search for "climate" will search the metadata (including title and description) of about 150 maps and nearly 1,000 data services while ignoring all non-GeoInquiry content in ArcGIS Online. The database behind the tool is updated twice monthly to reflect the latest changes in map and data service metadata. Explore the tool at http://edgis.org/geoinquirysearch

1. the teachers need to be administrators to see their students my content page correct? - Not necessarily. A custom role could allow this functionality without elevating teachers to administrators. 2. And that means they will be able to see the my content page of anyone in the AGOO correct? - This is true. If a teacher with a custom (e.g. "SuperTeacher") or administrator role can see their students contents pages, then they could see any account's contents pages in that organization. 3. If the teacher requires that students share their work to a (class) group that means the students in the class can see each other's answers right? - Groups don't make good private dropboxes. Group members can view all items posted to a group. Other option: If teacher privileges cannot be elevated to see all students my content pages, then consider making a group for each teacher-student pairing. This takes more time initially of course to set-up but the workflow is faster for teachers to grade assignments throughout the year. This also ensures more privacy than either a class group or giving teachers elevated privileges provides. In this scenario, Ms Smith (teacher) might have 150 groups. She might use a group name like "Hr1-BAnderson". This group would contain Ms Smith and Billy Anderson (a first hour student). Billy would share assignments to this group and only Ms Smith could see the work. -Tom

I was approached by a large K12 educational entity (greater than 10k) that wanted to implement SSO for user account creation and authentication. However, they also wanted teachers to have publisher roles and students to have user roles. Read more. >>

Single sign-on uses a school district’s identity provider software (such as Microsoft Active Directory or Google G Suite) to support student authentication on devices, when accessing the school network, or when using district software. Single sign-on provides three broad categories of benefits to teachers: increased instructional time, stability and support across the school, and reduced teacher liability. Read more >>

(with Python, the Python Imaging Library, and the ArcGIS Online API for Python) Using geotagged images can be a great way to capture verifiable data in a project-based learning or citizen science exercise. Students can collect data with photographs, share their images to a common folder, and then use this script to map the pictures. Geotagged images are taken constantly, usually by people with smartphones, perhaps even by people unaware that latitude-longitude information is embedded in the header of the images. For many casual users, seeing these images in a smartphone’s built-in Photo app with a simple map feature is all the mapping they’ll want. But, for the carto-literati ... Read more >>

ArcGIS Online Organizations can accrete user accounts over time for a number of reasons. Bulk CSV based creation of user accounts or single sign-on or simply orphaned accounts from last year's classes all contribute. For bulk user management in ArcGIS Online, no tool is more powerful than the ArcGIS API for Python - however, it should be noted for the non-scripter, GEO Jobe Admin Tools are .... Read more >>

E-book market growth continues to climb. E-books, as a share of the worldwide textbook market sales, is estimated to jump from 12.3% to 25.8% from 2013 to 2018 (Statista). The advancement of ebooks (including etextbooks) is nowhere more evident than in education. A projection report from Technavio suggests, 49% of “students” had purchased and used an etextbook by 2015. With the rise of ebooks on more powerful mobile devices and the continued growth of digital instructional materials in education, it's worth noting that maps can extend a wide variety of standards-based instructional content in schools (e.g. see the Esri GeoInquiry project to validate this idea). Thankfully, ArcGIS Online maps can be inserted into at least one particularly ebook format: Apple's iBook. Learn how >>

Select states have created GeoInquiry™ collections that support teachers who teach state history or state geography courses. These collections do not simply align existing (Esri-produced GeoInquiries) with state standards but rather have created new content, specially designed to serve teaching in that state. Explore the projects below. Keep in mind that many are still in development and/or beta testing. Minnesota Texas Georgia Virginia Michigan Nebraska Send an email to [email protected] for questions.
