Baer – Week 2

Chapter 1
Chapter one was pretty fundamental. it goes over the basics and core concepts of Web GIS. it points out well how GIS isn’t just for Geography nerdz (yes with a z). GIS is really an application the can go toward any proffesion. The apps were also fun to search around for.

Chapter 2
Chapter two was a lot more specific as it went over the feature layers. it also brought together the idea of storymaps. I am a huge fan of story maps because it’s (in my opinion) the best way to get “non-science” citizens connected with the scientific community.

Overall between the two chapters it have been interesting. I think I still perfer using ArcPro for most work, however I can see that WebGIS is better and more applicable at times. I am excited to see the other ways it can be used in the upcoming weeks. And I am excited to see if it changes my prefence of software.
