Without leaving the classroom, they can zoom to anywhere in the world.\r\n\r\nStudents can look at different types of map data, sketch drawings or notes, and measure distances in an interactive, globe-based experience. Grade school teachers use ArcGIS Earth to display 2D and 3D map information and help their classes learn about and explore geospatial content and geography. At the university level, professors use ArcGIS Earth to introduce students to GIS visualization capabilities and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/spatial-analytics-data-science\/overview\">spatial analysis<\/a>. ArcGIS Earth is also a free gateway to the wealth of content in ArcGIS Online\u2014basemaps, high-resolution imagery, and demographic data, plus curated maps and layers in the Living Atlas of the World that cover hundreds of topics.\r\n<h2>Geography for Curious Kids<\/h2>\r\nAt Victoria Groves Elementary School in Rancho Cucamonga, California, Hollie Duran recently introduced her fifth-grade class to ArcGIS Earth.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe classroom applications for ArcGIS Earth are limitless,\u201d said Duran. \u201cIt piques their interest in geography in a way that textbooks simply can\u2019t. The students were thrilled to see global landmarks, such as the Sphinx and even Disney World, and excited to see 3D representations of mountain ranges and deserts.\u201d\r\n\r\nOne of the key social studies standards for Duran\u2019s class is to gain an understanding of US states and major landform regions. Using ArcGIS Earth, her students were able to zoom in and explore each state and region, rather than simply reading about them or pointing to them on a printed map. Students also learned how to search and add information from the Living Atlas of the World to ArcGIS Earth.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe used ArcGIS Earth to travel around the world and had some fun with virtual reality,\u201d said Sebrina Pustam, a student at Victoria Groves. \u201cWe learned that geography is also a science and great for kids like us who are curious and want to learn more about the world we live in. We can use ArcGIS Earth at home and in our class for our research and projects.\u201d"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":56952,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h2>Teaching Students from All Majors<\/h2>\r\nJoseph Hupy, an associate professor in the Geography and Anthropology Department at the University of Wisconsin in Eau Claire also uses ArcGIS Earth in his classrooms.\r\n\r\n\u201cI like to tie ArcGIS Earth into applied examples in the business world,\u201d said Hupy, who shows students how to use ArcGIS for drone mission planning. \u201cWhat I like about ArcGIS Earth is that you can bring in tiled orthomosaics, KMLs such as a mission plan, and you can change your basemaps.\u201d\r\n\r\nAs an example, Hupy introduced his students to a recent drone mission in Honduras that aimed to capture high-resolution imagery of a production gold mine. Geologists needed the aerial imagery to determine the best places to expand the mine. Drones made an ideal solution for working in rugged terrain to help the team create a digital surface model and digital elevation model.\r\n\r\n\u201cThis project allowed students to see the true capabilities of GIS to engage in proper mission planning,\u201d Hupy said. \u201cI have students coming from all majors, not just geography, so I like using ArcGIS Earth because it\u2019s not intimidating. It\u2019s a way for students to view a lot of content and types of geospatial data.\u201d\r\n\r\nWorking with ArcGIS Earth helps university students learn the fundamental concepts of map navigation and interaction, which enables them to move toward higher-level geospatial techniques such as setting up buffers or queries in ArcGIS Online, creating story maps, or editing and managing GIS content with ArcGIS Pro.\r\n\r\nIn recent releases, ArcGIS Earth gained the ability to create and exchange data using KML files. Students can now share KML files as email attachments with anyone, even those without access to ArcGIS technology. Sharing data and map images is a critical element of capturing research, saving work, and communicating with peers and professors.\r\n\r\n\u201cPerusing the students\u2019 assignments, I can tell they like ArcGIS Earth for the hands-on component and interaction with the data,\u201d Hupy said. \u201cAnd ArcGIS Earth is free, so they can install it on their laptops.\u201d"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":56962,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h2>Accessing Learning Resources<\/h2>\r\nArcGIS Earth, which works with Windows 7 and above, is available to\u00a0download for free. Additionally, Esri provides instructional activities similar to what Duran and Hupy have put together. For K\u201312 instruction, every public, private, home school, and youth-serving club can request an\u00a0ArcGIS for Schools Bundle\u00a0for free. And students and teachers of higher education can access more advanced\u00a0ArcGIS learning resources."}],"references":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin
