Story Maps are web applications that allow you to combine the functionality of interactive maps with multimedia content (photos, videos, audio, timelines) into one unique app. They are templates of code ready to consume your web maps and online content. You can view examples here: http://storymaps.arcgis.com/en/app-list/ Clemson students with support from CCGT have created their own story maps: http://www.clemsongis.org/projects (check out Envisioning Risk, Planning for Tomorrow's Climate, Mapping Tigertown, and participate in Mapping the Tiger Spirit, and the Clemson Safety Survey)1. Examples of Great Story MapsSome examples to spark your creativity can be found at the links below. These are great uses of multimedia and mapping which draw in the user! They also demonstrate some of the different layouts and functionality available through various templates. 2. Creating your Own Personal Story Map We are going to create your personal life story map. It can be real or completely fictional (your choice). This will use the Story Map Tour template, which presents a "sequential, place-based narrative in the form of a series of geotagged photos and captions linked to an interactive map" (Esri). The user traverses your tour in the map in sequence, which moves to each "stop" along the way. Every stop has it's own picture or video and descriptive text to give content and context to the narrative.
This gives a preview of the various templates available, or you can Ask the Pros to get a suggested template based on the information you would like to present. In our case, this is important locations in your life, such as your hometown, where you graduated high school, the university you attended, and so on.
Now we are in the basic editing interface. Let's add a title and then our stops!
First stop: Your birthplace
Second stop: High school, College, VacationClick the Add button to create your second stop. Follow the same steps as before. 3. Customizing the Appearance
