ArcGIS StoryMaps from ESRI are an engaging way to allow students to interact with a variety of different content. StoryMaps incorporate text, graphics, videos and maps to tell a compelling story that students are able to peruse at their own pace. This presentation will show how to use them in class and ideas of how to get the students started in working on their own.
