Last week at the Esri Water Conference, representatives from GISinc and Gordian, including the GISinc Account Manager for Opelika Utilities, presented on this exciting industry development and provided case study examples of the new system’s recent successes. After implementing GISinc’s Cost Map for Water Utilities, powered by Gordian’s RSMeans data, the same material takeoff now takes seconds with one click. We believe that over time, the ArcGIS for Schools Program will help our future decision makers to understand and solve some of the world’s most difficult problems while gaining an insight into the world of technology.Historically, it took Opelika Utilities a minimum of two weeks to account for how much material was needed to go into a project. It helps students to develop skills in key spatial analysis and critical thinking at a grassroots level by embedding technology & digital learning tools in the classroom. Interactive project-based experience with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) supports STEM learning for students in course work, further education and life.
As well as teaching the skills and techniques required for working with GIS, the application enables new ways to study climate change, design cities and towns, explore demographics, understand history, predict future scenarios and perform many other cross-disciplinary activities. The platform allows students to collect, analyse and visualise data on a wide range of topics. There is no install, you just need a browser to get started as ArcGIS Online works on PC’s, Mac’s and mobile devices. ArcGIS Online is a complete, cloud-based mapping platform that makes teaching with GIS easy.
ArcGIS for Schools provides totally free access to Esri’s Online Digital Mapping Platform (ArcGIS Online), for every primary and post primary school in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
