Is a great way to learn about GIS and GPS, while producing data and maps of your school that can be used for later projects. It's also a prerequisite for attending the Geospatial Projects Workshop.

Students have your facilitators visit this page for information on obtaining a license code for these courses. A "code" is required in order to take a course (see your facilitator for the code). Then visit http://campus.esri.com/ to enter an online learning environment through which over 200,000 people around the world have taken GIS instruction.
You keep hearing and reading about making sure you know in which coordinate system your data is stored. This presentation will shine some light on the mystery of coordinate systems.
This tutorial walks you through using x,y coordinates to place data from a table on a map using the eye of Hurricane Ivan, 2004. You will need the Data from Hurricane Ivan
How to download census data, and join a table to shapefile so that you can display it in a great looking map. Note: There are 3 pages of the tutorial (lots of pictures)
Learn how to add non-spatial data to your ArcMap project. Can be used for just about any table of data that you have, so long as it contains some spatial info - e.g. county, city, fire hydrant number, etc.
If you're shapefiles are not lining up correctly, or you have received an error saying that your data is missing spatial reference then you need to Define the Coordinate System that your data is in.
Sometimes you need to change the coordinate system of your data - for example if it is in Geographic (Lat/Long) and you want to add it to ArcScene or ArcGlobe.
Learn how to summarize attributes of one feature based on its relative location to another feature. In this example we use cities and states to find out the number of people who live in cities (urban population) within each State.
This tutorial walks you step by step through the process of creating a 3D environment in ArcScene and exporting a video. The process is very similar in ArcGlobe! (word doc)
How to geocode x,y coordinates (latitude and longitude measurements) using ArcView (webpage) ... if you have a table of coordinates & would like to add the data to ArcView
