Thinking Spatially Using GIS

Thinking Spatially Using GIS is a 1:1 set of instructional materials for students that use ArcGIS Online to teach basic geography concepts found in upper elementary school and above.
Each module has both a teacher and student file.

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.

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.

The two world powers decided to divide the world in half by drawing a line that ran through the Atlantic Ocean. Based on this line, Spain could claim new lands in the western half of the world, and Portugal could claim lands in the eastern half.The Thinking Spatially Using GIS home is at: http://esriurl.com/TSG All Esri GeoInquiries can be found at http://www.esri.com/geoinquiries

2018 DC School Report Card. STAR Framework student group scores by school and school framework. The STAR Framework measures performance for 10 different student groups with a minimum n size of 10 or more students at the school. The student groups are All Students, Students with Disabilities, Student who are At Risk, English Learners, and students who identify as the following ESSA-defined racial/ethnic groups: American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian, Black or African American, Hispanic/Latino of any race, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, White, and Two or more races. The Alternative School Framework includes an eleventh student group, At-Risk Students with Disabilities.Some students are included in the school- and LEA-level aggregations that will display on the DC School Report Card but are not included in calculations for the STAR Framework. These students are included in the “All Report Card Students” student group to distinguish from the “All Students” group used for the STAR Framework.Supplemental:Metric scores are not reported for n-sizes less than 10; metrics that have an n-size less than 10 are not included in calculation of STAR scores and ratings.At the state level, teacher data is reported on the DC School Report Card for all schools, high-poverty schools, and low-poverty schools. The definition for high-poverty and low-poverty schools is included in DC's ESSA State Plan. At the school level, teacher data is reported for the entire school, and at the LEA-level, teacher data is reported for all schools only.On the STAR Framework, 203 schools received STAR scores and ratings based on data from the 2017-18 school year. Of those 203 schools, 2 schools closed after the completion of the 2017-18 school year (Excel Academy PCS and Washington Mathematics Science Technology PCHS). Because those two schools closed, they do not receive a School Report Card and report card metrics were not calculated for those schools.Schools with non-traditional grade configurations may be assigned multiple school frameworks as part of the STAR Framework. For example, a K-8 school would be assigned the Elementary School Framework and the Middle School Framework. Because a school may have multiple school frameworks, the total number of school framework scores across the city will be greater than the total number of schools that received a STAR score and rating.Detailed information about the metrics and calculations for the DC School Report Card and STAR Framework can be found in the 2018 DC School Report Card and STAR Framework Technical Guide (https://osse.dc.gov/publication/2018-dc-school-report-card-and-star-framework-technical-guide).

Image Mask is a configurable app template for identifying areas of an image that have changed over time or that meet user-set thresholds for calculated spectral indexes. The template also includes tools for measurement, recording locations, and more.App users can zoom to bookmarked areas of interest (or search for their own), select any of the imagery layers from the associated web map to analyze, use a time slider or dropdown menu to select images, then choose between the Change Detection or Mask tools to produce results.Image Mask users can do the following:Zoom to bookmarked areas of interest (or bookmark their own)Select specific images from a layer to visualize (search by date or another attribute)Use the Change Detection tool to compare two images in a layer (see options, below)Use the Mask tool to highlight areas that meet a user-set threshold for common spectral indexes (NDVI, SAVI, a burn index, and a water index). For example, highlight all the areas in an image with NDVI values above 0.25 to find vegetation.Annotate imagery using editable feature layersPerform image measurement on imagery layers that have mensuration capabilitiesExport an imagery layer to the user's local machine, or as a layer in the user’s ArcGIS accountUse CasesA student investigating urban expansion over time using Esri’s Multispectral Landsat image serviceA farmer using NAIP imagery to examine changes in crop healthAn image analyst recording burn scar extents using satellite imageryAn aid worker identifying regions with extreme drought to focus assistanceChange detection methodsFor each imagery layer, give app users one or more of the following change detection options:Image Brightness (calculates the change in overall brightness)Vegetation Index (NDVI) (requires red and infrared bands)Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI) (requires red and infrared bands)Water Index (requires green and short-wave infrared bands)Burn Index (requires infrared and short-wave infrared bands)For each of the indexes, users also have a choice between three modes:Difference Image: calculates increases and decreases for the full extent Difference Mask: users can focus on significant change by setting the minimum increase or decrease to be masked—for example, a user could mask only areas where NDVI increased by at least 0.2Threshold Mask: The user sets a threshold and magnitude for what is masked as change. The app will only identify change that’s above the user-set lower threshold and bigger than the user-set minimum magnitude.Supported DevicesThis application is responsively designed to support use in browsers on desktops, mobile phones, and tablets.Data RequirementsCreating an app with this template requires a web map with at least one imagery layer.Get Started This application can be created in the following ways:Click the Create a Web App button on this pageShare a map and choose to Create a Web AppOn the Content page, click Create - App - From Template Click the Download button to access the source code.
