The Power of Focus: Projects Across Space and Time

This video, from the 2021 Esri Education Summit, highlights three presentations about GIS projects in education. In the first presentation, Curby Alexander describes the use of ArcGIS for a longitudinal study of urban turtles. Curby explores the project, converting data into ArcGIS, visualization, field maps, and lessons learned. In the second presentation, Thomas C. Hammond and Trevor Macduff describe a project where high school educators employ weather balloons to collect data for STEM classes. This data was used to explore global wind patterns. In the final presentation, Bronwynn Terrell describes the creation of data for an archeology project in French Polynesia and how this applies to K-12 educators. The project, GIS mapping techniques, and how it relates to K-12 education are highlighted. 

The video recording runs 48:20 minutes in length. Additional videos from the summit are available to view separately.
