| New Launch: MapMaker 4.0 Beta
Inspires Interactive Learning | Add innovative learning to your classroom with MapMaker 4.0 Beta! This free, online GIS tool, developed in partnership with Esri, is easy to use and provides your students with interactive data on a variety of important topics. Explore the world in both two-dimensional (2D "flat map") and three-dimensional (3D "globe") displays with an intuitive interface. Designed for teachers, no login is required and lesson resources are available to help you get started.
For those of you using MapMaker 2.0, it will still be available through the 2023-2024 school year before we migrate to the new platform. In the meantime, we're providing you a sneak peek of MapMaker 4.0 today. |

| On the Blog: National Geographic’s Expedition to Earth’s Northernmost Lands | This summer, a team of National Geographic scientists and storytellers will head to the northernmost land on Earth (the far north coast of Greenland) to document terrestrial life and set up base-line transects to monitor the impact of climate change over the next 100 years.
Now, connect with the team through live events, or asynchronously through email and social media. Check out the citizen science initiatives connected to the expedition to learn more. Ask your students: What is the northernmost terrestrial life YOU think the team will find?
