ArcWeb Explorer: Full Start for Educators
gis2.esri.com/industries/education/arclessons/search_results.cfm?id=295
ArcWeb Explorer is a flash-based introduction to ArcWeb Services and an excellent educational tool. With nothing but a web-browser and the latest version of the Flash web plug-in, you can upload and map your own data, explore maps and satellite imagery of the entire planet, make thematic maps of over 100 census variables down to the neighborhood level, create online routes, and much more. With these guidelines from Tom Baker and I, you can begin your exploration today!
Using GIS in Earth Science
gis2.esri.com/industries/education/arclessons/search_results.cfm?id=296
How can GIS be effectively incorporated into Earth Science? George Dailey, Roger Palmer, and I created this presentation to guide you through the reasons why GIS is used by Earth Science teachers and professors, and how to teach Earth Science concepts and skills using a variety of geotechnologies--from GPS, to web-based GIS, to desktop-based GIS. Themes included are geologic field work, hurricanes, plate tectonics, impact craters, and more.
Investigating North Atlantic Hurricanes
gis2.esri.com/industries/education/arclessons/search_results.cfm?id=299
Investigate North Atlantic hurricanes by using web-GIS (The National Atlas) and desktop GIS (AEJEE). Included in this lesson are instructions on how to download and save data from the National Atlas online, how to determine how many hurricanes crossed each state, how to examine individual hurricane tracks, and how to analyze the relationship of wind speed and pressure by making thematic maps. This lesson is targeted toward the beginner but contains some intermediate/advanced questions to build further inquiry. Included in the ZIP file are the atlas data layers in case the student does not have access to the Internet.
This Dynamic Planet: How Does It Change?
gis2.esri.com/industries/education/arclessons/search_results.cfm?id=301
Using the This Dynamic Planet interactive web-based GIS, students investigate plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, and impact craters. This lesson provides an introduction to thinking spatially and makes an excellent bridge to further investigations using desktop GIS software. The lesson takes students on a world tour to Africa 's Great Rift Valley , Iceland, Hawaii , the Mariana Trench, impact craters in Mexico and Canada, and much more. The lesson incorporates mathematics, geography, and Earth Science.
