For my first app, I wanted to look into StoryMaps from Chapter 3. I ended up making a story map revolving around Sanibel Island, which is where my family and I used to travel every summer. Unfortunately, the majority of the island was wiped out by Hurricane Ian, so all of the pictures included are pre-hurricane. I customized how the story looks and it was actually a lot of fun, and I set up a tour of all of my favorite places we would always visit. I was able to see a preview of how it would look on different devices, and it was cool to personalize everything. I think it would be fun to utilize this feature for a project/presentation.

For my second app, I wanted to try out the 3D web scenes. I stuck with the same location and used Sanibel Island, and I found data that revolved around one of my favorite places included in my story, which is Ding Darling Wildlife Preserve. The data revolved around various tree species within the preserve, so I applied the layer and then made the trees/plots 3D, identified the species of trees in each area, and applied the labels. It was interesting to see the variation of things that I could do with the 3D functions and the data.
