Esri’s ArcGIS Online Approved as a Grade 5-12 Learning Resource in British Columbia
Cloud-based mapping platform provides opportunities to develop students’ spatial & critical thinking
If you’re an educator in British Columbia looking for a way to engage your students in various subjects such as history, geography, science and social studies, you should check out the new addition to the ERAC (Educational Resource Acquisition Consortium) online collection. Esri’s cloud-based geographic information system (GIS) platform, ArcGIS Online, has been approved for use in grade 5-12 classrooms in the province.
“Maps are a universal medium for communication and understanding,” noted Dr. Brent Hall, director, Education and Research, Esri Canada. “Using ArcGIS Online in the classroom will help BC students learn how to create and use maps to analyze issues around them. This will allow them to develop valuable spatial and critical thinking skills that position them for success in their future careers.”
