To add 3D data to ArcGIS Online you will need a login for an ArcGIS Online account. We would recommend that you use a free schools subscription (full functionality) or the free public account (reduced functionality).

  1. Login to ArcGIS Online
  2. Choose a location that you would like to visit and a create a 3D tour

Things to think about and practice:

  • Who is the audience for the field trip?
  • How will the virtual field trip be used?
  • Is the sequencing of your slides correct?
  • Does it help to tell a story about the location?
  • Can changing the weather help with the story that you are telling?
