ArcGIS Survey123, the ArcGIS Online map viewer, dashboards, and story maps and other configurable web mapping applications can be powerfully but easily created and used even by those who are not GIS experts. Join Joseph Kerski for an engaging workshop where we delve into not only how to use these tools but how to connect and share them.
