Join the ESRI Education Community Group on ArcGIS Online

ArcGIS Online Sharing is a new Web-based repository through which ArcGIS users can easily search and share GIS data, maps, layers, and tools. ArcGIS Online Sharing is currently in public beta and available to anyone with an ESRI Global Account.

You can join or create groups within ArcGIS Online based on your interests, such as education, history, GPS, or ArcGIS Explorer.

Join the ESRI Education Community Group and share your maps and GIS data with educators and students. Data shared through ArcGIS Online can be used in ArcGIS Desktop and the new ArcGIS Explorer.

I’ve uploaded several data sets (as layer packages) about telecommunications (phones, mobile phones, internet access) from the CIA’s World Factbook for 2002-2008. With these data, you can discover how many countries have more mobile phones than land lines (more than you might think!) or track the growth of internet usage, among other things.
