Abstract

Geographic Information Science has allowed me to create a story map to show in great detail what life was like for the students who attended the four week Jterm trip to Israel. Attending the Omrit excavations allows students to truly understand the ways in which an archaeologist must work. After attending the excavations two years in a row I decided I wanted to share the experience with those who have not gotten the chance to attend this trip. I chose a few of my favorite places we got to experience and created several different maps through ESRI Story Map. Each slide includes a little excerpt, quotes from students, and/or pictures from each place. The maps on each slide are designed to show the distance from one place to the next, and how students got the chance to see a large portion of Israel in just four short weeks. Israel's scenery changes from place to place and you can see this on the maps, as well as in the different photos. No one place is the same and that is one of the many things that makes Israel such an unforgettable country. This story map is meant to be interactive and fun way to learn about the different cities and archaeological sites that can be explored when a person travels to Israel.
