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.

Animals are a big part of our life. Animals fascinate us, whether they live with us as pets or roam wild places on our planet. One exciting way to connect with animals from beyond our back yard is to visit the zoo. Zoological parks, or zoos, are a great way to bring people closer to animals. It is a chance for people to more deeply appreciate and understand how animals live and what they are like.

Zoos have been around for a long time. Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt had one about 3,500 years ago, and the Chinese emperor Wen Wang created a large zoo named the Garden of Intelligence about 3,000 years ago. Many leaders used zoos to show power and wealth. Zoos became popular starting about 500 years ago in the 1500s, when European explorers brought animals from the New World (the Americas) back to Europe.

After Christopher Columbus found the New World in 1492, Spain and Portugal were eager to conquer and claim new lands. 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.

Esri UK is providing a digital mapping platform and expertise in biodiversity mapping for the National Education Nature Park. We are providing the Department of Education with ArcGIS Online - an extensible web-based mapping platform to provide staff and students with geospatial tools that will allow them to view, capture, store, analyse and monitor environmental and biodiversity data. We are also providing Professional Services to be delivered using an agile methodology, along with training to key stakeholders.To deploy geospatial tools to all schools, we are using the existing ArcGIS for Schools program.

This is the new quarterly ArcGIS newsletter for Higher Education. It will contain all the important information for teaching and facilitating the use of ArcGIS across your university. We aim to publish newsletters in October, January, April and July. Lets get into it.

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.

Our lives changed in 2020 and it was clear that data science would help us better understand and react to something we really didn't understand. GIS played it's part

To Digitise in ArcGIS Online you will need to Add Map Notes. Follow the following steps to digitise the area of an agricultural field:

In this asynchronous session, you will use some of the free GIS tools from the Teach With GIS website, created and maintained by the Esri UK education team. All of these tools are free to use and accessible as websites from laptops, tablets and mobile devices. We recommend that you view them on a laptop or tablet if possible, to give you plenty of screen space to see every detail. They do not require any logins or subscriptions. We want you to experience using modern, online GIS tools from the perspective of a student before you begin to create your own tools, maps, and lessons. We have chosen a range of tools that let you experience GIS as a tool to examine physical and human geography, and to compare and contrast over space and time.

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.

ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World is a rich and growing collection of valuable geographic maps and data from organizations around the globe. Access to Living Atlas content is part of your ArcGIS Online organizational subscription. In this course, you will discover and use Living Atlas maps and layers that are ready to use for instruction. You will explore ways to connect Living Atlas content to the subjects that you teach.

As you might have already heard, after 20+ years of serving the GIS community ArcMap is finally retiring.The desktop role of the ArcGIS system is being replaced by ArcGIS Pro, which is more integrated with other ArcGIS solutions like ArcGIS Online, The Living Atlas, fieldwork and web applications.

If you have just completed an Introduction to ArcGIS Online and are starting to think that this GIS stuff if quite useful or interesting, here are some additional applications you might want to have a look at - all explained in as plain english as we can manage!

Our map currently looks overwhelming with too many layers thus making it difficult to understand. We can use cartographic tools to make it not only prettier but also easier to gain valuable information out of.

Hi, I'm Zoe.

The Living Atlas is the foremost collection of geographic information from around the globe. It includes maps, apps, and data layers to support your work. In addition, you can also search other public data published by other organisation within ArcGIS Online.

Can you deliver more with less budget? This seems to be a common scenario facilitues teams find themselves in and often it comes on the back of exceeding expectations.
