Chapter 3:
This chapter was fairly straightforward. I like that this assignment allowed us to create something we can actually publish.
Chapter 4:
I found this chapter engaging because we got to develop a new skill.. It was also interesting to see how GIS continues to evolve alongside the growing use of mobile devices.Ā I often use Apple Maps for directions, and I realized how heavily our daily lives rely on GIS technology. Although the mobile app tutorials were very in-depth, it was definitely helpful to take a deeper dive into what the Esri apps could do.
Application:
The Survey123 tool has a wide range of potential uses. One practical application could be tracking invasive species of bugs, plants, or other animals. With its variety of input optionsāincluding multiple-choice questions, map locations, file uploads, and email fieldsāit would make collecting data more efficient. Residents in Delaware County could report where the species is found, estimate the amount, indicate whether removal was attempted, and provide other useful details. This could help encourage community involvement and make managing and eliminating invasive species more effective.
