King Training Maps (Submission 2014) Description

Here are some details about this map:

 

1-I wanted to do a project about smoking because my grandfather smokes and I worry about his health.  I decided to map the smoking rates of each state and see which state smokes the least and most.

 

2-The map can benefit EAST students making posters about smoking and a visual to any observer as to what is going on with smoking in each state.

 

3-I started this project to teach others (students and clients/partners) how to map but decided that it could be used for other student projects not just for training along with our George Hines, MLK, and Arkansas Cemeteries Maps.

 

4-One of the problems I had was creating the map into a Story Map.  We are still trying to figure out the steps to creating a webserver but haven’t figured it out yet. We completed a story map using just arcgis.com > Creating a Web Application but could not put all the training maps together as we had planned.

 

5-So far team members have:

*completed marking points for each state and smoking rate and next steps;  continuing to mark points of interest for the George Hines Family Tree Map, MLK Map, and we are expecting to begin the Arkansas Cemeteries map next.

6- Next steps for this project:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             *locating photographs/documents to help emphasize the story to be told by the maps (example:  smoking issues faced by states)                                                                                              *trying to complete a similar map in ArcGIS Desktop                                                                   *compiling the smoking map with all training maps into one Story Map  (Smoking Map, George H. Hines, MLK, Life and Times, and Arkansas Cemeteries).

7-Skills learned in doing the project:                                                                                    *accessing and login into an online mapping program (arcgis.com)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         *search and find location                                                                                                                              *mark points adding description                                                                                                                                                *view and scale location                                                                                                                          *saving a map

Student's Shoe Drive Inspires Ms. UAPB

Last school year, Tiyanna lead a team that sponsored a shoe drive to benefit the Ozark Water Project.  The Ozark Water Project's mission is to "alleviate as much human suffering as possible by providing affordable footwear and a cup of clean, fresh water for those who thirst."  The shoes collected are sold for cents per pound which provides the Ozark Water Project some funding for equipment and travel to projects in countries like Kenya for drilling wells and Haiti for water purification systems.

This school year, our EAST program was contacted by Ms. UAPB's mentor.  She expressed that Ms. UAPB was interested in assisting in a shoe drive this school year.  Recently, to our surprise, we were contacted again about the shoe drive's results, an estimated 200-300 pairs of shoes (pictured below). 

Team members of the EAST project are extremely excited about and thankful for the shoes collected on our behalf and are still working with the Ozark Water Project.  The team is researching and developing an activity booklet with the intention to provide curriculum integrated/standards based activities for  the Ozark Water Project and other booklets (Drinking More Water; Sustaining Waterways).  The booklet could be available online or in print for partners and

 

schools. Why not help the community and build skills for academic proficiency and beyond at the same time?  This is true for the EAST Team members and their future booklet users.

Look back at this post for an update soon.
