ArcGIS Pro is Esri's main desktop GIS software and it is easy to enable student to install and use it on their personal laptops. All you have to do is:set students up with an Esri Identity in ArcGIS Onlinepoint student at the video explaining how to download ArcGIS ProStudent logs into ArcGIS Pro using their identityLets go through those steps in a bit more detail.

This video demonstrates how school board administrators map and analyze student achievement using ArcGIS Maps for Office and ArcGIS Online. Specifically, it covers how to prepare and map student data from Microsoft Excel, how to enrich that data with the geoenrichment service in ArcGIS Online and how to share, communicate and present your work in Microsoft PowerPoint and in Story Map applications.

Attend this session to find out how teachers are using GIS to engage students in hands-on learning.Engaging Secondary Students with Spatial Community Based ProjectsCory Munro, Saugeen District Secondary School, Bluewater District School BoardStudents become engaged when they collect and analyze data for projects that produce meaningful results. This session will briefly highlight the work of several student and class projects at the local and international level. Forming community partnerships in recent years has provided excellent opportunities for students to build their spatial analysis skills using ArcMap, ArcGIS Online, Survey123, Story Maps, and Collector for ArcGIS. Projects to be highlighted include mapping safe routes to school based on local infrastructure and student surveys, tracking school graduates and their post-secondary destinations, fire safety in Saugeen Shores, and more.

Instructions on how to make an ArcGIS map, add georeferenced points, adjust appearances , configure pop up boxes, upload images and sharing a map. Introduces students to ArcGIS mapping. Students learn how to organize and upload designated places onto an ArcGIS map. Students learn how to configure pop-up boxes for each designated place and populate them with information they have uncovered. Students learn how to add images to their designated places on their maps. Once completed, students learn how to import into other media i.e. StoryMaps, Word documents to tell a bigger story about the places on the map.

ArcGIS Online is a great tool enabling students to run spatial analysis and present their work to through interactive web applications. But how would you enable a lecturer to assess students work without the students having to share their work publicly? Here is a question from a lecturer at a universtiy:The solution is to give the Lecturer a customised Role with additional privilege's to be able to see the users content when it is not shared.

The zoo in your community is so popular and successful that it has decided to expand. After careful research, zookeepers have decided to add an exotic animal to the zoo population. They are holding a contest for visitors to guess what the new animal will be. You will use skills you have learned in classification and analysis to find what part of the world the new animal is from and then identify it.

To help you get started, the zoo has provided a list of possible animals. A list of clues will help you choose the correct answers. You will combine information you have in multiple layers of maps to find your answer.

You will need an ArcGIS login which will allow you to sign in to both ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro.If you are a student, your university likely has logins that they can issue you. Once you have an ArcGIS login follow the adjacent video. ArcGIS will likely already be installed on certain campus computers where you can login immediately. For additional ArcGIS Pro installation guidance, follow the links below.

Data in this digital opportunity map comes from students' and families' answers to the Internet Access at Home Survey, which school districts use to gather data on home internet and learning device access for students in their districts. While this is an optional data collection, DPI encouraged districts to collect this information and push it to WISEdata to help drive statewide initiatives to improve digital learning opportunity in Wisconsin. Data is given in percentages to protect student privacy. View statewide digital opportunity data on the WISEdash Public Portal.The digital opportunity questions are the result of a coordinated effort with the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), Education SuperHighway, and the Ed-Fi Alliance (affiliated with the Dell Foundation). In May 2021, the US Department of Education added these questions as data elements to the Common Educational Data Standard (CEDS). CEDS is the federal government’s framework for all education data, adding significant validation to the questions and items. See the questions DPI provided to districts to use in their surveys here.

Quickly browsable content chunks let users scan topics and focus on those skills and concepts with which they have not yet grown comfortable.

Prior experience of GIS is variable, but a number of PGCE students and in-service teachers reported negative prior experiences with geospatial technology. Common complaints include a course focussed on data students found irrelevant, with learning exercises in the form of list-like instructions. The complexity of desktop GIS software is also often mentioned as off-putting.

The United States population has grown quickly during the past several hundred years. Keeping track of the nation’s population dates to the country’s origins. The U.S. Constitution adopted in 1787 called for a population count every 10 years, starting in 1790. This process, called the census, would keep track of the population, its activities, and its movements. More importantly, the census would ensure that each state received fair and accurate representation in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The 1790 Census recorded almost 4 million people. By comparison, the 2000 Census counted almost 300 million. That’s more than 70 times the number of people that lived in the United States 210 years ago! It is estimated that by 2050 there will be 392 million people living in the United States! The United States now is the third most populated country in the world after China and India.

Whilst the CSV upload makes it easy to create user accounts for whole cohorts of students in one go, deleting large numbers of student accounts when they have left can be much more time consuming. You can manage users from the "Members" tab of the "Organisation" page in ArcGIS Online, but this does not allow bulk deleting of accounts.As students leave the school you will probably want to delete their user accounts, both from the point of view of keeping your ArcGIS Online organisation neat and tidy, and also to vacate user accounts for incoming cohorts.

The animal kingdom is quite large, with thousands of animal species identified around the world and more being discovered all the time. To make sense of all these species, scientists typically classify animals based on their physical characteristics. They start with a general classification and then get more detailed until they end up with a scientific name for the animal. For example, in the Linnaeus classification, the scientific name for a brown bear is Ursus arctos. This means that it has a backbone, is a mammal and a carnivore, and is part of the bear family.

Usually, it is easier to use common names to identify animals. In addition to their physical features, animals have many other characteristics: What country or area do they come from? What habitat do they live in? What kind of food do they like to eat?

Enrollment is a head count of all students receiving their primary PK-12 educational services through Wisconsin public schools. This map is in a series of maps that show enrollments by district for a particular student group (demographic) for every school year since the 2008-2009 school year. Additional enrollment data are available for the public to view on the WISEdash Public Portal. Enrollment data is sourced from the WISEdata system. DPI collects data to meet all required school, district, state, and federal reporting mandates, e.g., Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and Title II Higher Education Act. These data inform education research and data analysis. Multiple teams from IT and content areas work together at DPI to build tools for data collection, to support districts in data collection, and to report on and facilitate the use of data based on federal and state reporting mandates. Through the DPI dashboard and reporting tools, DPI staff, teachers, administrators, parents, and researchers are better able to understand and improve educational outcomes for Wisconsin students.

Meteorologists study storms that produce tornadoes. They use tools such as forecasting (predicting the weather), research (observing and trying to understand the weather), and storm chasing (following and watching storms close-up). Some tornadoes and tornado outbreaks may stick even in your memory. Some students grow up to study the science of tornadoes because of a personal experience or out of curiosity about an outbreak. Perhaps you will decide to be a meteorologist yourself one day!

In this GIS activity, you will see how tornadoes are classified into weak, strong, and violent categories. You will also take a close look at some of the memorable tornado outbreaks in history.

Let’s explore Tornado Alley.
