Hello! My name is Aiden Veerjee, I am a Junior and I come from Johnstown Ohio. My major is in Quantitative Economics and I have a minor in Geography. I am in Alpha Sigma Phi, I am in the Economics & Business student board, and I am the Comptroller for WCSA (Student Government), I am also the President for our school’s Investment Club.
My account:
- After looking around, I forgot that I made a StoryMap for Geog291, I thought it was cool to revisit it after a while.
- I also think it’s cool that the website itself had courses to make people more proficient at using it.
What Is ArcGIS Online?
- I do think it is very useful to be able to access ArcGIS Online both through computers and phones. I would like to see some of the applications of being able to utilize ArcGIS via a mobile device.
- And it seems like that the principles and fundamentals that we have learned in 291 are going to be at a much greater use when bringing stuff we can make more easily into a fully fledged webpage.
ArcGIS Online Basics:
- Creating apps seems like an important & useful function that I will be learning a lot more about during this course.
- Keeping things visible and easier to understand seems like a key concept that I should keep in mind for this course as well.
- There are plenty of online resources that I am able to use.
GIS Applications:
- I had looked up ‘ArcOnline crowdsourcing’ in google scholar and found an article about how someone used ArcGIS Online to compare crowdsourcing to natural resource management. I found this application pretty interesting, especially with one of the points they had brought up with giving people to report an invasive aquatic fern via GIS applications.
- And as the election is drawing near, I wanted to take a look and see if there were a lot of electoral uses of ArcOnline, and sure enough there were quite a few.
