History in my Community
Using your ArcGIS Online account and Esri's Survey123, you are tasked with creating a survey that you will use to gather data on locations of historical events in a community along with questions that investigate the historical significance, cause and consequence, continuity and change and historical perspective of each location. You will then create a story map based on your results to present your historical investigation in your chosen location/community.

The videos are step-by-step instructions for how to use ArcGIS Online tools in the classroom. Great for both teachers and students.
