Presentation 1 Title: Lesson Maps with Maps101: Telling History’s Stories for 6-12 Students
Presentation 1 Speaker 1: Becky Sicking
Presentation 1 Speaker 2: Hazel Tipton
Presentation 1 Abstract:
Esri’s StoryMaps allow immersive learning through text, visuals, links, audio, and more. Lesson Maps use the StoryMap platform to provide students with a complete lesson module of content and a companion teacher edition that features activities point of us to the student content, with multiple activities for every subheading. Through Lesson Maps, Maps101 tells stories about human history. The Revolutionary War, for example, includes separate Lesson Maps on the causes of the war and the main battles—providing a much more thorough story of the war than textbooks provide.
