jonah Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) This summer, Esri quietly released a refreshed edition of “Thinking Spatially Using GIS” (for ArcGIS Online)”. This collection of instructional materials for the elementary geography and science classroom is completely free, requires no login, and no installation of software. The activities are for a one student to one computer/device (1:1) learning environment. Activities, designed to be teacher-friendly, provide a student worksheet and assessment. The activities are for 4th and 5th grade, but may serve younger or older learners based on reading level.
