Description: This half-day, hands-on training, will introduce students to ESRI's new online mapping service, ArcGIS Online. The training will explore the ready to use maps available and also explore the basic functionality of the applications. This workshop will explore the mapping and querying tools of the ArcGIS Explorer Online application and the ArcGIS Viewer application. We will also focus on the maps available from RIGIS and on creating your own maps. You will create your own maps, your own data and share these maps via email, Facebook, Twitter or embed the code into your own website.
