An Atlas is a type of an ArcGIS Instant App – and really easy to create if you already have an ArcGIS Group that contains the maps or data you want to appear in the Atlas. In this blog I show three ways to manually embed your atlas or atlas content into a storymap.

Connecting components of modern GIS, including field surveys, dashboards, interactive maps, spatial analysis, and multimedia web mapping applications such as dashboards and story maps help organizations understand key local issues and situations and take action.  In education, they help foster spatial thinking, critical thinking, and rigorous use of GIS tools and data.  This workshop and lesson guides you through the creation of a survey in Survey123, mapping the resulting data in ArcGIS Online, analyzing the data, creating and using an ArcGIS Dashboard, and creating an ArcGIS StoryMap.  It does so through 8 lesson components:  4 introductory lessons, followed by 4 "deeper dives" lessons. 

Last year Esri introduced a certification exam that’s appropriate for teachers and high school students with 150+ hours of training in GIS. To keep the exam current, it is regularly reviewed and updated. You’ll find a new version available with some key updates.

Grab your virtual reality headset and get over to these ten storymaps with virtual field trips.

ArcGIS Online public accounts are great – for teachers.  Most importantly, they can be quickly created and logged into with one of your existing social profiles like Google, Apple, or Facebook.
