Esri makes ArcGIS Online free for all K-12 schools in the United States through the ConnectEd Initiative
May 2014 - Schools across the United States will have access to powerful online mapping software for free through the Whitehouse's ConnectEd Initiative.
“We are proud to be part of the President’s ConnectED Initiative,” says Jack Dangermond, Esri president. “Geographic Information System technology gives students powerful tools for understanding our planet, and teaches them to become problem solvers. It is a perfect complement to STEM courses and many other classroom activities, while preparing students for further education and expanding career opportunities in fields that can help better manage our world, build better lives for more people, and design a better future.”
