> (1)  New lessons on ArcLessons:
>
> Water Use Analysis with GIS
> http://edcommunity.esri.com/arclessons/lesson.cfm?id=442
> In this lesson, you will understand (1) how to access and format  
> data from the USA County database from the US Census Bureau within a  
> GIS environment; (2) how to analyze these data, specifically about  
> water and by extension, other variables?using GIS and spatial  
> statistics techniques, including regression analysis, hotspot  
> analysis, and scatterplot matrices.
>
> Analyzing Census Data
> http://edcommunity.esri.com/arclessons/lesson.cfm?id=439
> Access, format, and use US Census data in a variety of ways--from  
> ArcGIS Online, from ESRI Data and Maps DVDs, from the ESRI Data  
> Library, from the US Census Bureau's American Fact Finder, and from  
> the American Community Survey. Exercise 1A: Using the Demographics  
> Layer from ArcGIS Online Exercise 1B: Using ESRI Data and Maps DVD  
> For Census Analysis Exercise 1C: Accessing Census Data from the ESRI  
> Data Library Exercise 1D: Find and Download Data from the US Census  
> Bureau American Fact Finder Exercise 1E: Using Desktop GIS to  
> Prepare Data Tables for Display and Analysis Exercise 1F: Creating  
> Quantitative Displays Exercise 1G: Accessing and Using the American  
> Community Survey Data.

> Using ArcGIS Online Geocoding Services to Map and Analyze Points
> http://edcommunity.esri.com/arclessons/lesson.cfm?id=440
> This lesson and data set are intended to be used in ArcGIS 9.3 and  
> higher from ESRI to illustrate how to use ArcGIS Online geocoding  
> services to locate points by address in educational applications.  
> Discover how easy it is to geocode from this online resource. What  
> patterns can you see from the types of points that you are geocoding?
>
> Using ArcGIS Online Routing Services to Plan and Analyze Routes
> http://edcommunity.esri.com/arclessons/lesson.cfm?id=441
> This lesson and data set are intended to be used in ArcGIS 9.3 and  
> higher to illustrate how to use ArcGIS Online routing services to  
> create routes for educational applications. The lesson asks students  
> to select the best route for a tour bus to travel several times a  
> day from the Upper West Side of New York City to Battery Park,  
> stopping at several tourist sites along the way, and return. The  
> second part of the lesson asks students to determine the best route  
> for a truck to travel weekly from the East Coast of the USA to  
> Boise, Idaho, picking up several shipments along the way. In each  
> part of the lesson, "best" route is presented both as the quickest  
> and also the shortest.
>
> Using Web-GIS in the Classroom
> http://edcommunity.esri.com/arclessons/lesson.cfm?id=438
> Grapple with a wide range of phenomena from language to natural  
> hazards, from regional to global scale, using a variety of different  
> tools on the web. You will use web-GIS (1) using a web browser, (2)  
> by streaming web-mapping data into a desktop GIS (ArcGIS), and (3)  
> download and analyze data from the web using a desktop GIS (ArcGIS).
>
> (2)  GeoHack:
>
> http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack/
>
> This tool asks for coordinates and then returns links to a ton of  
> mapping services and satellite feeds and other information about  
> that latitude-longitude coordinate.
