Telling a story that can change the world: Hands-on workshop with ArcGIS StoryMaps

  

Telling a story that can change the world: Hands-on workshop with ArcGIS StoryMaps

communicatE · data · risk communication · Design, visualization and art

Patrick Abbot once said, ”If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a map must be worth a million.” But, what if we could combine pictures and maps together while fully immersing someone in an interactive, online story telling experience? ArcGIS StoryMaps are a medium to do just that – to tell an amazing story, drive action and awareness, and make a difference in our world by combining the art of storytelling with maps and graphics. Join this interactive, and hands-on, workshop to learn the 9 steps to great story telling, how to build an ArcGIS StoryMap from scratch, and leave with a storyboard of your very own personal story to begin changing the world tomorrow.

This session requires you to bring a laptop with an internet browser to build a story map. Access to ArcGIS StoryMaps online and all training materials will be provided for you. If you do not have access to a laptop, the first part of the workshop will be around storytelling and best practices that you can still interact with!

*This training is offered twice.
