Browse: Check out some of these story maps at the ESRI story map gallery. How do they balance telling a story with the map with telling a story with words?
Here is a selection from the gallery above (but feel free to browse for yourself):
Transforming Lives: Ascend West and Central Africa
In and of the Syrian Community
Watch: ArcGIS StoryMaps: Getting Started with the New Story Builder (39 mins)
Christine de Pizan Through StoryMaps (16 mins)
Watch: this easier (and open source) way of making Storymap.js: How to Create a Story Map (5 mins) These examples are made with Storymaps.js:
Game of Thrones : Arya’s Journey
The Garden of Earthly Delights – Hieronymus Bosch
Extras for S21 semester: Infectious Diseases in the Adriatic Commune of Dubrovnic
Quick writing : Working with a story map is a very different exercise than simply making a map in UMap or ArcGIS online. First of all, it requires using ArcGIS online. Tell us about a story that you found and appreciated. With the examples of story maps above in mind, would you be in favor of our Cheap Eats Abu Dhabi map being made in ESRI StoryMap format? Why or why not? What (dis)advantages would the StoryMap have? Complete this by 1200, 3 November.
Study: Exploring the Empty Quarter (created by a NYUAD class)
Who was St John Philby? What is this book The Empty Quarter about? Where is the Empty Quarter?
What did the "digital exhibit" linked above do with Philby's book? How does it compare to a StoryMap? What did this amateur blogger do with quotes from the book? What kind of a space did Minecraft users make inspired by this geography?
You can consult a copy of the book in our datasets folder in Drive.
Today is a Saturday, but class is being held on a TuTh schedule.
Discussion of the Empty Quarter digital exhibit and story maps.
Live run through on making story maps using our Cheap Eats data and reusing the data of the Gazelle article.
What is a storyboard?
Make: begin to shape your own ESRI storymap using one of the datasets from Week 2 or the Cheap Eats data. Share the link with us in Chat. This is only a trial exercise--it does not have to be anywhere near perfect. Try to have a few text blocks or images with one map.
Watch: the prerecorded video of an expert chat with Taylor Hixson (NYUAD, Librarian for Geospatial Services). Prepare two questions for Taylor by 1200, 5 November and put them in the DHS Experts Chat.
If you missed class on Saturday, you can watch it here.
