How to Export Data (Creating your own shapefiles) in ArcMap 9.x
For my friends at the Rural STEM group...here's your requested item. In the old days we called this "covert to shapefile" but now it's exporting data. You can easily take large data sets and make them more meaningful by selecting your smaller data set, exporting the data and saving it as a new shapefile...in 6 easy steps.

Case of the Missing Ship - 10th Anniversary Edition for ArcMap 9 and AEJEE (ArcExplorer Java Edition for Education)
Those of you who enjoy some of the nice features of ArcVoyager (circa 1997) will appreciate this revision. I've taken the original activity and data and written instructions and student handouts appropriate for the ArcGIS 9.x world. I'll be working the entire collection of ArcVoyager Puzzles so that they work in ArcMap 9.x and AEJEE. Also available at ESRI's ArcLessons site (http://www.esri.com/arclessons).
