Webinar: What is Geography and Geo Storytelling by Creating Multimedia StoryMaps
June 12th, 2021 from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM MST
​
Register Here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/154768295137
​
Do you love geography, but want to know why it is important? Also do you like telling stories? Elevate your story by putting it into its place. Maps have an unrivaled power to visually communicate geographical information. The addition of geographical context deepens the clarity and resonance of your narrative. This workshop will introduce users to the ArcGIS StoryMaps platform, where we'll explore how to integrate multiple media types -- including image, video, audio, and custom 2D and 3D maps -- into compelling, engaging, and substantive digital media output.
This workshop is free and open to the public. There will be limited spots due to the virtual hands-on nature of creating StoryMaps. This workshop involves the use of the Esri ArcGIS StoryMaps platform, a licensed/proprietary software. A free ArcGIS Online public account is capable of making StoryMaps, but with some functional limitations. More information about signing up for an account will be sent to participants.
