Thanks for the tipoff from Bob Lang to this ESRI StoryMap
The Humber estuary has some of the highest flood risk in the country and is vulnerable to rising seas - hence our work on a new strategy to 2100. Check out our interactive storyboard for everything on the Humber past, present and future https://t.co/1CYPCh5BjU#geographyteacherpic.twitter.com/17tkUUSZIL
When we do our work on the Geography of Food, we explore where our food comes from. This Telegraph article outlines the companies that hold Royal warrants for supplying the Queen with her food.
I used to live on the edge of the Sandringham estate for 12 years, and used to patch a butcher in Dersingham that had the Royal Warrant attached to the building. He provides the Royals with their meat, and sells meat from animals reared on and near the estate.
It has a link to the ESRI UK map that shows the location of these companies.
We have been using ArcGIS Online in school for several years now, and ESRI UK have kindly given us a free subscription for the last few years so that we can share our work.
At the end of the Awards presentation at this week's GA Conference Stuart Bonthrone, the MD of Esri UK stood up and made an announcement which was in some ways inevitable after events previously in the USA, and also very welcome.
Stuart announced that from immediate effect, ArcGIS Online will be free to all UK schools.
Under the heading of "The Science of Where", Stuart then played a short video featuring the inspirational work of Thierry Torres and colleagues at Dover Grammar School.
I also had the chance to meet Steve Richardson, who is being employed to produce new resources and materials for teachers to encourage more use of the tool in classes.
There are already over 60 resources available, with plenty more to come.
