Overall Satisfaction with ArcGIS
As a middle school history teacher, I often use ArcGIS in my classroom with my students. I often use the Geo-inquiries as a lesson with my students for them to get a broader understanding of our current unit's geography and it's larger affect on the world. Other teachers use it in their prospective classes for science, math, and even language arts. We have also utilized it to create surveys among our students to put on a mapping system. By allowing my students to manipulate maps, they get a much better understanding of geography in general.
- Geo-inquiry lessons are already made and easy to integrate in the classroom.
- Map manipulation allows students to fully understand geographical relationships.
- Story maps are extremely easy for students to use and create their own.
- PD training for me to better utilize and understand.
- User friendly videos for my students to watch to better understand.
- General training since some are difficult to implement.
- I absolutely love the Geo-inquiries!
- Story maps.
- Survey creation.
- Improved general geographical understanding for my students.
- Map manipulation for my students.
- Free for my students.
My students love the "drop" feature in Google Maps, but besides that it truly doesn't compare. I love that you can add, delete, or change layers to this map to better understand its larger affect. There are many more ways to manipulate maps on ArcGIS than on Google Maps. I can also add personal details and information if I want to create a specific map, something that I am unable to do with Google.
