In this workshop, participants will learn the basics of ArcGIS Online, a simple browser-based tool for making maps with data. Because this tool is browser based and requires no software to be installed, has built-in datasets, and is easy to use, it provides the capacity to create mapping data projects and share them on the web very quickly. Participants will learn how to make an MSU account for access, how to add points to a map from a spreadsheet, how visualize data in a map, find data for comparison within ArcGIS Online, and to style and export their maps from the application.

ESRI and Knight Labs Story Maps combine narrative text, images and other content with maps to create spatially based narratives for the web. Story Maps are an easy-to-use powerful tool for presentation of all kinds of information to a public audience. They are great for classroom projects. In this workshop, we will compare the ESRI and JS versions of StoryMap and learn how to use Story Maps incorporating a variety of media types and formats.
