Chapter 1 and two of the web GIS book introduced the basic and benefits of web GIS this combined web technologies with geographic information systems. The systems were global access, cost effectiveness, cross platform compatibility, and most appealing to me ease of use web GIS revolutionized spatial data analysis to where it is now used in just about every facet of life i.e. government industry, science and daily life chapter 1 focused on the key elements like user group and content it also emphasized how web GIS data sharing can make analysis easy it introduced five core GIS components data layers tools, online maps apps, which enable dynamic spatial applications. I was familiar with some of the stuff from taking 291

Chapter 2 discussed layer types in the ESRI geospatial cloud. These features were features tile scene and picture layers, and it showed how these layers could be used to create high-quality maps. I also found it interesting how arc GIS arcade allows the tailoring of layers and pop up appearances and how the capabilities enable users to interpret data better.

Hi everyone. My name is Owen. I’m a senior here at Ohio Wesleyan University I’m a zoology major. In the beginning half of the semester, I took GEOG 291, so now I’m finishing the semester off with GEOG 292.I learned a lot and 291. It was very informative class. I felt like i took a lot away from it so I’m excited to learn more in 292

Having taken 291 my mind was already blown with the sheer vast capabilities of arcGIS as a program. And after looking around the website and scrolling through the settings, I can say that I am less overwhelmed at the start of this arcGIS online then I was at the start of 291.

The introduction on arcGIS was straightforward and left me with little to no questions. I found the ability to make maps off-line to be extremely interesting, especially compared to 291 which I had to do on a desktop working with arcGIS online. Makes this class and this is fieldwork much more helpful.

When tasked to google and find arc online, I chose something that I enjoy doing on my weekends here at a Ohio Wesleyan University that being hiking. So I googled arc online mountain trails. And began searching. I found one that described geospatial tool development for the management of hiking trails specifically in the holy side of meteora this was interesting to me because last semester I used the tools in 291 to make the maps and now I’m seeing them coincide with something I’m interested in and AR online
