_______________<\/p>\n

After seeing the wonderful potential of Survey 123 for ArcGIS<\/a> and Esri Story Maps<\/a> at the 2018 Esri Education Summit, I wanted to give both a try in my Physical and Environmental Geography classes here at Central Michigan University. Students responded well, grateful to \u201cdo science,\u201d collecting environmental data in the field through Survey 123 and expressing their creativity through the interactive maps, video, imagery, and web pages of Story Maps.<\/p>\n

That said, there were a handful of lessons learned along the way that, had I known then what I know now, would have made bringing these technologies into the classroom even easier. Here are my 10 tips\u2014some specific, some general, some easier to implement than others\u2014to make your run with Survey123 and Story Maps as smooth as possible.<\/p>\n

Quick and easy things to get right<\/h2>\n

1. Create meaningful, unique file names<\/strong>
\nNaming creations like \u201cMap 1\u201d\u2026\u201dMap 2\u201d are easily forgotten, can be confusing, and aren\u2019t that descriptive\u2014requiring files to be opened to discover the content within.<\/p>\n

2. Turn off Wi-Fi when collecting with Survey123<\/strong>
\n<\/u>Once leaving the confines of the classroom, Wi-Fi won\u2019t allow students to collect data at actual collection points. Instead, points will cluster only where the Wi-Fi signal can reach. Rely on students\u2019 provider signal instead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fine-tuning your instructions<\/h2>\n

3. Provide step-by-step directions with icons<\/strong>
\n<\/u>How much detail do you provide when writing exercise directions? When I surveyed my students with this question, they clearly preferred step-by-step directions with screenshot icons. Use Esri\u2019s Teach with GIS<\/a> lessons as a guide for how to structure a lesson.<\/p>\n

4. Scaffold instruction<\/strong>
\nI jumped into Story Maps and Survey 123 without giving students the chance to fully explore basic ribbon icons, the relationship between scale and map detail, filtering; and, more generally, how to explore, create, and share maps. Consequently, at the end of the semester I was answering basic questions on map creation instead of helping students synthesize spatial<\/p>\n

A better approach is to first provide guidance for navigating and zooming, adding basemaps and layers, and then move on to modifying symbology. \u00a0Once students have a grasp of these skills, proceed to querying attribute tables and creating web apps.<\/p>\n

5. Zoom to proper scale
\n<\/strong>So you are not constantly having to pan and zoom to the students\u2019 theme coverage, provide guidance on how the map\u2019s scale will look to readers. \u00a0In my exercises students were usually applying Story Maps and Survey 123 at the county level; yet, when I went to evaluate their work, some maps opened at the state or even continental scale of resolution forcing me to pan and zoom to the students\u2019 study area. \u00a0In Story Maps, this involves saving a custom configuration on the main stage menu instead of the map default. In Survey 123 this simply involves saving the map layer at the scale of resolution.<\/p>\n

6. Train in map search techniques<\/strong>
\nEsri\u2019s ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World<\/a> alone contains more than 8,000 quality, curated maps. With so much to choose from, though, students often struggle to find the best map. Point out that search results can be filtered by maps or layers, recency, location, popularity, and more.<\/p>\n

7. Challenge students to read directions<\/strong>
\nSome students would rather you solve their problem than having to read the directions. Most of us would like to think of ourselves as helpful and empathic instructors but we should also harden ourselves in pointing students to specific sections of the exercise where \u201cthe answer\u201d can be found. Therefore, directions need to be easy to follow (see the next tip) and reviewed before distribution. Knowing where to find specific instructions in an exercise can be tough if you wrote it months ago!<\/p>\n

8. Allow students to critique your exercise directions <\/strong>
\nOuch! Students can be brutally honest in pointing out directions left out, placed in the wrong location, or repeated unnecessarily. This remains, however, the best way to improve your exercises\u2019 clarity. Offer extra credit for this assessment. Better yet, make this a required question on all exercises.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Go beyond the classroom<\/h2>\n

9. Use GIS from day one<\/strong>
\nSure, Survey123 and Story Maps tap higher order learning skills like evaluation, analysis, synthesis, and creation\u2014but they\u2019re also great icebreakers for the first day of class. Have students slide the location pin in Survey123 to their neighborhood or hometown and analyze the resulting pattern. Gauge students\u2019 preference for restaurant type, use of social media, pets, and other questions to illustrate the uniqueness and commonalities the class shares.<\/p>\n

10. Show the relevance of GIS to students\u2019 lives<\/strong>
\nAlways tie GIS techniques back to students\u2019 majors, employment potential, and how GIS can provide useful information about one\u2019s hometown of neighborhood. Require students to write on how they could incorporate Survey123 and Story Maps into their future major or work. What better an opportunity to showcase how useful GIS is to our everyday lives!<\/p>\n

_______________<\/p>\n

Any<\/em> of the tips outlined above will ease your transition into using Survey123 and Story Maps. There are some\u2014like tips 4, 6, and 8\u2014which require more planning, but these are also more likely to yield a greater course impact. Of all the tips, showing the relevance of GIS to students\u2019 everyday lives will yield a more focused, motivated class. But regardless of where you start, don\u2019t be overwhelmed. Pick one tip, then another, and soon, you\u2019ll be on your way to unleashing the analytical power of Survey123 and Story Maps!<\/p>\n"}],"authors":[{"ID":9232,"user_firstname":"StoryMaps","user_lastname":"Community","nickname":"SMCommunity","user_nicename":"smcommunity","display_name":"Story Maps Community","user_email":"storymapsdev@esri.com","user_url":"http:\/\/esri.com\/storymaps","user_registered":"2019-03-20 20:27:37","user_description":"Every day, story map authors are raising the bar when it comes to compelling storytelling powered by place.
