Actual teacher application of AGO in their classrooms Building new layers on basemaps that aren’t pre-made from Esri,

i.e., from web, from file, etc. Links, resources, etc. for lesson plans, layers, databases Grant opportunities tied to AGO for tech Besides doing the slide/spyglass, what other techniques can be used

when layering multiple maps? How to take data from GPS coordinates and overlay it on a map How to import maps Where else can we get free stuff? How to import maps to create swipe of “then and now” areas. Different levels of projects for elementary, middle school, high
