EVENT DESCRIPTION:

In this demo and workshop you'll see how to make user friendly, visually compelling web apps with ArcGIS Online to inform, educate and stimulate your audience. Story maps combine intelligent Web maps with Web applications and templates that incorporate text, multimedia, and interactive functions. Story maps inform, educate, entertain, and inspire people about a wide variety of topics.

We call these 'story maps' because they are designed to help tell a story, whether it is highlighting an issue or problem, showing the results of analysis, planning, doing outreach, showcasing cool places and things to do in an area, or just showing photos from a trip you've been on. You'll see the various templates that are provided and find out how to deploy them.
