This workshop will be conducted by Daniel Wickens from ESRI, the makers of ArcGIS. It will be a hands-on session teaching participants how to use ESRI's Story Maps tool. Story Maps combine multimedia (audio, video, narrative, photographs) with interactive web-based maps and tools to create interactive spatial stories.  These maps (https://storymaps.arcgis.com) can cover a multitude of themes and issues such as population change, economics, business locations, water quality, energy, natural hazards, current events, biodiversity loss, land use, and many more.   These maps can be shared, accessed on any device, embedded in presentations or web pages, and combined with other multimedia. If you have signed up for the Spatial Storytelling Series Story Map contest, this is an essential workshop.
