Congress App Challenge

From Esri Schools Manager Charlie Fitzpatrick: 

Congress wants kids to create apps! http://esriurl.com/funwithgis156. Show this to your high school and middle school audiences, CTE friends, guidance counselors, computer science colleagues, and mobile app junkies. Esri has many tools for building map-based apps. This is a fabulous opportunity to share how geotools and geographic thinking help to solve problems.

Register for the App Challenge at http://studentappchallenge.house.gov/. 

Search for GIS Books and Tutorials

From Esri Schools Manager Charlie Fitzpatrick:

Esri Press has a downloadable catalog and an app (both facilitate browsing), and offers desk copies to instructors. These resources are especially valuable for CTE instructors working with ArcGIS Desktop. 
For instance, there's a great new book integrating GIS and remote sensing. Go to
http://www.esri.com/books for more.
