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.

In chapter 1 I struggled a little bit finding where everything was including the files I had to download. I eventually figured out where they were and what I had to do. After that it was pretty smooth sailing there was a couple spots that I got stuck and had to look up where to go or retrace my steps. Overall, I thought it was cool to navigate through and learn where things were located at. 

Chapter 2 was more complicated and took longer to work through. It was still interesting to read about the different possibilities with using this program. I thought the geocode part was cool since I am a Data Analytics major and have taken some computer science. It was cool to see the simple code and how it performs in making things like maps. I also liked how the layers worked and how everything you do doesn’t have to be made by you. There are already made to use layers built in to make things quicker. 

An application that would be interesting based off these chapters would be making a map for fishing. I could have different spots for fishing with conditions or basic things about the area or maybe what species of fish it carries. 

I am Henry Isaacs I am from northern Ohio and am a sophomore at Ohio Wesleyan University. I am on the Baseball team here and am a Quantitative Economics and Data Analytics major. 

I completed the quiz. I have access to the ARCGIS account from 291.

Through exploring around in the Esri pages and training I found that there a lot of different trainings you can do and some of them take a significant amount of time like one took 6 weeks. I also found that some of the pages like the ARCGIS Pro page wasn’t available at the time. 

On the Get started page I found out that you can collaborate on projects with other people from out organization which would be cool. I also learned about the scene viewer tool and how you can visualize things in 3D.

I have completed the Web Course: ArcGIS Online Basics training and thought it was a good refresher of what it ARCGIS is and its many applications. I thought it was useful and even taught me new stuff like when creating and editing web maps. 

The first GIS application I looked into is fisheries management. This application is useful for providing information specifically to where fishing activity takes place in the world. The website showed how you can create maps to show density on fishing activity and other interesting visuals. 

The next application I looked into is the application to stream and river fisheries. Using GIS you can map and model habitats with different aquatic life. The website mentioned how this use of GIS is inter

esting because rivers and streams are always changing.
