To finish off Geog 292, I’d like you to do a review of some of the GIS data available from Delaware County, Ohio, and then create an ArcGIS Online app or two to show off your awesome learnin’s.
I. Delaware Data Inventory (see schedule for due date)
Maybe you did this already in Geog 291. Posh! Link, in your week three posting, to that effort after you review the Delaware Data.
1. Go to the Delaware County Ohio GIS Data Hub and click on All Files
2. Review the available data (click on each and read the Data Summary): create (in your posting for the week) the name of each data layer and a few sentences about the data
3. Using an external Drive (I can give you a flash drive if you need one): Create a folder called Geog 191; In that folder create another folder (your last name). In that folder, create a Delaware GIS Data folder.
4. Download (as .shp files) these three data sets: Parcel, Street Centerline, and Hydrology (search for this last dataset on the Delaware site if you don’t see it in the list). You may go back and download other data if you need it.
II. Final Project (see schedule for due date)
The final project can be posted to this blog, but make sure there is a copy in the shared folder in Google Docs format so I can easily comment on it when I’m reviewing it.
The final project: I’d like you to keep in mind the Delaware Data Review and ponder, as you work through the Getting to Know Web GIS book, applications that show you understand the stuff in the book and use Delaware Data.
To help with this, I’d like you to speculate, each week, on an application using Delaware Data based on what you learned in each Chapter: Write up a paragraph describing the app and what parts of the Chapter (stuff learned about ArcGIS Online) you will use in the app. Thus you will have two ideas per week that could be turned into a real ArcOnline app.
Final Two Apps: I’d like you to select and make two of your app ideas happen in ArcOnline. App 1 is based on Chapters 1-4, and App 2 is based on Chapters 5-7. Keep ’em simple! Post to this blog where you introduce your 2 apps and embed them or link them in the post. Check the schedule for the due date.
