Storytelling with Maps

Esri has been pushing this for a while now: Storytelling with Maps. Not a bad option for creating and sharing interactive web maps that incorporate various types of media. After playing around with it and creating the story map below here are a few things I learned: 1) You really need an ArcGIS Online for Organizations account, 2) the template I used is still a bit buggy, and 3) seems to work best in Firefox.

• Storytelling with Maps
• Embedding Story Maps in websites
• Using the Map Tour template
• Link to my Story Map
• Snap2Map app - great!
