The Monthly with All That Geo – February 2021
Welcome to the second issue of The Monthly with All That Geo! Each month, I will bring you a three-part newsletter focused on the learning of mapping and data visualisation skills:
- In The Spotlight – you’ll be introduced to data visualisation tools I have personally explored and reviewed.
- Geo For Good – you’ll discover inspiring organisations and projects enabled by location data.
- Frenchy’s Tip – you’ll get helpful tips to make your mapping and data visualisation journey easier.
In The Spotlight
Knight Lab’s StoryMap as an alternative to ArcGIS StoryMaps
StoryMap from Knight Lab is straightforward to use and can be a starting point for beginners.
