Thanks, Ina - Only partly what I want. All of my materials are built around having the Content tools there to use - the Change Style, Filter, etc. And I can’t seem to get these to show in the embedded map. Thanks again, Rick

I am trying to embed a map in a web site as I have in the past and the contents are no longer available. I can get the details and legend without problem, but no contents. What happened? The page I am working with is here: https://www.intimeandplace.org/Immigration/Irish/Maps/irelandmap.html Thanks for any help

For those of you interested in GIS in the history classroom you might want to take a look at this article published last week in the latest issue of the Oregon Journal of Social Studies (OJSS Journal 0602.pdf ). The article is entitled "Sold Down the River: Broad Context & Individual Perspective" and focuses on the sale of slaves "down the river" into the cotton and sugar plantations in the new South during the decades prior to the Civil War. The article provides background to the history, a discussion of the use of GIS, and an extended lesson plan. Rick Thomas T3G 2011

I’m trying something a bit new. For over a decade now I have spent time in my retirement developing In Time & Place(www.intimeandplace.org), collections of resources for topics in American history that incorporate GIS. They have been used over the years by tens of thousands of students, teachers, and interested persons - primarily in the US, but in western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Indonesia as well. The release last year of ESRI’s GeoInquiries in math inspired me to remind myself that I had been a math teacher for thirty years in addition to teaching social studies and that one of my primary goals was to develop fluency in the language of mathematics. That meant not just developing student skill in the vocabulary and rules of math in the abstract, but developing the ability to apply in the context of real world problems. I developed numbers of units over the years to this end, many of which are geographically related. I plan on sharing these lessons on a new web site called Math Apps (www.intimeandplace.org/Math ). The first three lessons are ready to go: The content is primarily mathematics, but each unit incorporates social studies content as well. Each contains specific instruction in math content along with interactive graphics and GIS tools and activities. They are not meant to provide stand alone instruction in each content topic; rather, to supplement more traditional textbook and classroom presentation - to develop fluency. Some of you are no doubt science and math teachers and can make direct use of these lessons in your classrooms. For others, please take a look and share with colleagues. Enjoy, Rick Thomas T3G-2011 rthomas26345@msn.com

Good morning all - I have just completed and posted a new set of materials on my In Time & Place site entitled The Slave Trade: A Forced Migration. As the title suggests the materials deal with the transatlantic slave trade as well as the migration of slaves within the United States that occurred as the country’s slave economy changed from one centered on tobacco to one focused on cotton and sugar. The materials include GIS activities providing data related to both migrations of slaves in addition to related written and visual documents. These materials are not prepackaged lessons. Rather, they are largely a collection of primary documents organized around a common theme with a brief narrative linking each section. There are a series of questions to get students started in thinking about the material and links to all sources and references. How the materials are used varies widely. I have noted uses of the site ranging from classroom experiences prepared by teachers, to inservice done in person and online by curriculum coordinators, to use in online courses, to research use by individual students, and just plain browsing out of an interest in the subject. So use as you like and if you see things you would like added or modified please let me know. Enjoy, Rick Thomas

Thank you, Kelly, for your very quick response. The solution works (http://www.intimeandplace.org/Yosemite/activities/trailsofyosemite.html - click on the map image to bring up the scene), but is not ideal. I've basically created a work around to not having the layers menu available by creating a slide entry into each layer. I would also like users to be able to change base maps. Is a change in the works? Thanks again, Rick Thomas

Thanks Mike - As long as I know this is not my problem I’ll continue working on the project the map you looked at is part of and let you folks figure out a solution. Thanks again for taking a look, Rick Thomas GeoNet Normalization error AGO reply from Mike Minami in ArcGIS Online - View the full discussion This is a bug. The issue is caused by rounding error. The class break ends at 0.2513595342, but the calculated value when carried out with more decimal points ends up falling outside the break. 43171/171750=0.2513595342066958 The source of this bug is actually ArcMap, as the same code is reused for AGOL. This issue is documented in our defect tracking system. No release date set that I can see. Thanks, Mike Reply to this message by replying to this email, or go to the message on GeoNet Start a new discussion in ArcGIS Online by email or at GeoNet Following Normalization error AGO in these streams: Inbox >

I normalize a symbolization in AGO using two variables that display perfectly by themselves, but the normalized display does not,include all regions. Why? Check http://timeandplace.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=f84d5a36041646718085c00b56196950

Mike - I am having a similar problem, although it is not consistent. Sometimes the table will show, but most times I get an error message.Is there any way to examine the file to determine what is causing the error? File: http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?services=ad6048a8650744868891b6d7cc675374 Thanks, Rick

In addition to the sorting options currently available in Show Table it would be nice if there were a basic statistics option for numeric fields as well - sum, mean, sd, etc.

There seems to be an error in the Configure Pop-up > Pie Chart option. I am trying to show population by race normalized by the total population so that percentages are given when a user rolls over a section of the chart. I only get the raw population data to show. If I use a column chart the process works - not the most appropriate choice of graphs, though. Is it me or is there a problem?

In many of the maps I create for history student use I ask that comparisons be made across time. For example, compare population density in a particular county across several decades. In order to make an effective comparison a common set of classification values is appropriate. Students may start off classifying the first decade by Natural Breaks, Equal Intervals, or Quartiles. For the other decades, though, a Custom scheme would be great so that values from the first decade could be used throughout and comparison facilitated. If such an addition to ArcGIS Online is planned, great. If not I would like to strongly suggest it.
