Why Empower Instructors?
Because we know they want it!
Non-technical fields think Spatially
Maps are for everyone
Story Maps fit into the growing interest of Digital Humanities
The GUI is user friendly/accessible, but not to the faint of heart

Thank you!Questions? “Changing how you look at history is
valuable, and maps do this much more than writing intensive assignment.”
“More work, but at the end it’s something you’re proud of and you want to show people. I have something at the end. Don’t often want to show people a paper.”
“Actively mapping is different than having a printed map in the text. Difference between looking at a map or building one/analyzing one.”
