Isaacs Week 3

In chapter 3 I used web maps building and adding layers and just learned how to use them overall. It was cool to play around with this and add themes and stuff. I found where I could add data and themes from the organization and had tons of options made by other OWU students. I thought some of the visuals you could create and add were very cool too. The work for this chapter was fairly easy to follow along with and could get around and simple problems.

Chapter 4 was more covering making web apps. Like the past chapters there was a lot of playing around and trying different things to see what they do. It taught how to use widgets like search and legend which was cool to see. I thought it was interesting there was a part where you would use your mobile app. Overall, I learned a little how to publish and configure web applications while adjusting them to what I need. 

An application that could be used through these 2 chapters is mapping fish habitat. You could chart their spawning grounds or nursing habitats. You could separate these using lake depths or places the fish prefer. Other applications in fishing might be to map environmental conditions, fish pressure tracking, angler report apps, or surveys like fish or bait stockings. There are a lot of different possibilities in fishing to use stuff learned in these chapters.
