The Wonderful World of Story Maps
GIS has many applications
Later in the semester, we will use Story Maps to summarize/reflect on our GIS practice. Now - a the beginning of the class - we will explore high-quality 'story maps' to demonstrate the power of GIS. Story Maps is a platform published by the industry leader 'ESRI.'
The following is a compilation of ESRI's top Story Maps for 2019 and 2020.
After selecting one of the story maps to summarize from the links above (your favorite), create a post that includes the following components:
A. What is the title of the Story Map you chose, and what problem does it seek to address?
B. Take a snip or screenshot (Command + Shift +4 OR 'snip' tool) of your favorite map in the Story Map you selected to explore (include an image)
C. What is visually appealing about this map? What does it show?
D. Now that you are somewhat familiar with this platform, tell us if you might use it to address a social or environmental issue/problem you are interested in.
