Building a Story Map in Real-Time - The Story of Frederick Law Olmsted
ArcGIS Online Public (Free) Accounts - Create & Log-in
The last part of this workshop leads participants through creating a story map. The story map will focus on highlighting the life of Frederick Law Olmsted, a prominent landscape architect born in Hartford, CT. He designed many famous parks including Central Park in NYC and several in his home state of Connecticut. The story map will showcase Olmsted parks across the state and provide information about Olmsted Day, an annual day of celebration which takes place each year on his birthday, April 26. Click on the image below to open the demo (completed) story map in a new browser tab. It may be used for reference.
Use the story map exercise (handout) to set up a Public ArcGIS Online account and begin building your own story map journal. Detailed step-by-step instructions are provided in the "cookbook-style" exercise, along with the exercise reference page which provides the descriptive text, image and video links you will need to complete your story map.
