We have some exciting new additions to the site this month, as we start posting our Concepts and Methods series which is designed to support teaching and learning introductory GIS and geospatial analysis across platforms and disciplines or topics. This month, we also celebrate our 150th software skills tutorial added to Mapping 101!

Happy Fall from the Mapping 101 team. As students and teachers get back into classrooms and onto campuses, our summer frenzy of new material has slowed but not stopped. We have a handful of new tutorials added to our resources with several more planned for the coming months.

As we wrap up the summer, we want to thank Sally Kaye who has finished her internship at Meisterlin Projects this month. Alongside her fantastic work on other projects, she added tremendous value to the QGIS resources available at Mapping 101 over the last several weeks.

It’s been a busy month with team members traveling, enjoying summer and family time, and creating more than a dozen new skills tutorials for QGIS—bringing our collection to more than 130 tutorials and closer to parity with ArcGIS skills training materials as we all prepare for the fall.

Summer is off and running, with new updates, several new tutorials, and new Mapping 101 contributors! Sally Kaye has joined the team for the summer along with Daniel “Wex” Wexler—both are developing new tutorials (particularly for QGIS). And Steven Duncan is continuing to flesh out a beginner sequence on webmapping with Leaflet.
