Hi! My name is Hannah Wagner and I am a sophomore majoring in Environmental Science. I have taken the quiz and scheduled an appointment for weeks 2 and 3.
I first looked through some of the basic stuff in my account. I found the community and forums to be really interesting and I would like to explore some of the posts. I also liked the training section that had a lot of different courses to help navigate and use ArcGIS online.
I then read through “Get Started: What Is ArcGIS Online” and all of the different sections. I found that you can work collaboratively with others to build maps, scenes, apps, and notebooks and then share your work with others. Another thing that caught my attention was scenes and the fact that you can add weather effects to them.
I then completed the ArcGIS Online Basics web course. I enjoyed this course and the information it gave me. I learned about all the different layer types. I also thought it was cool that there are many different sharing options to control who has access to your organization’s content. Two trainings that interest me are ArcGIS Online: Editing Essentials and 3D Visualization Essentials.
Here is the map that I worked with and my certificate from completing the training.
I already used Google Scholar to look into GIS applications in GEOG291.
