I wrote about the places I lived as a child and used some photos of it.

I think that this version would cater to a lot of people&#8217;s goals of StoryMaps, because sometimes the StoryMaps ArcGIS&#8217;s mapping software is not very intuitive&#8211;or at least I have not found it to be. This is a much simpler system but still accomplishes a lot effectively with a point on a map, a picture, a caption, a headline, and a textbox. Sometimes StoryMaps ArcGIS has <em>too <\/em>much on it, and seems to be focused on the website building over the map-building. I am really excited I did this one because I think it could come in handy for my personal Vivero Project this semester. I saw while sharing that I could embed it into a website and I have embedded it into this post.<\/p>\n<p>Working through this by myself, with just the training, was not too bad. I feel very confident I could teach someone how to use this. I think it makes a lot of sense to users and creates very compelling narratives. I like the minimalist site, but still a lot of control over what information is presented. Having less &#8220;stuff&#8221; on the website makes it easier to really get to the heart of the content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I made a StoryMaps for a portion of my life!
