Part 1

Welcome & introductions, quick spatial orientation (that is, where are the bathrooms?), and getting lunch order set up.

Game plan for the summer

• When are we meeting? What to do in between? 
• What are the deliverables?
• (Do we need to spend time on WHY you might want to teach with maps & data?)

Quick tour of the technology

...

1. First, let's annotate a map, via 'Map Notes'. Make a map that shows 'Your Happy Place' – add a placemark, add a polygon, add a line, add a label (text)
   1. Save your map! 
   2. If you wish, share your map 
      1. Here's an editable Google Doc in which you can post your map URL
2. Next, add someone else's data: Add >  Search for Layers > ArcGIS Online
3. Finally, add some custom data: Download this spreadsheet and then Add > Add Layer from File

...

Let's look at some materials created by teachers

• Founding Fathers of Psychology – all map annotations (Map Notes) to show content in spatial context
• Founding Fathers of Psychology (same map) built into a Story Map.
• Urban Heat Islands – map fed by data collection
• Built Environment investigation – Story Map that contains Story Maps
• Voter Turnout Story Map – Integrates maps AND images; see also the 'Investigation sheet' for guiding (and capturing) student work on this map.

Based on what you've seen, what do you want to do next? 

1. "I need to review the basic how-tos"
2. "I am ready to start building maps!"
3. "I want to start building a Story Map!"
4. ("I want to build a map that gets fed by students' data collection!")

Part 4: Wrapping up and getting organized for the next steps

1. Re-state intros! And briefly describe what you worked on for the past hour
2. Find a working partner (or two) 
3. Preview the online materials to explore before the July session(s) and fill out the exit form. 

See you in July!
