April 2026 Updates

30 April 2026

As we roll into the end of the semester and school year, we are reflecting on how much GIS and mapping work has happened in the last several months and grateful that Mapping101 can support so much GIS teaching and learning.

happy GIS-ing,
Leah


Updates from the Month

We have continued fleshing out the Making Data skills tutorials with Digitizing Points in ArcGIS Pro and, as promised, are working on more field calculation “helper” tutorials in QGIS, starting with Copying Values to a New Field in QGIS .

We have also updated (and copyedited) several of our earlier tutorials!


Coming Up

As we move into the summer, we’re focused on achieving full parity between ArcGIS Pro and QGIS skills tutorials, adding new “Finding Data” tutorials for accessing common datasets, and reviewing older tutorials to update those that no longer reflect the current state of the software.

As always, if you find these resources helpful, please consider donating to support Mapping 101.
