Hi, My name is Jes Powell and I am from the Cayman Islands.\u00a0 I am currently a senior and doing a major in Studio Art.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Week 1 the first thing I did was look around my ArcGIS Online account which I was already semi familiar with as I took GEOG 291 during the first half of this semester.\u00a0 I looked at <\/span>My Settings, ESRI, Training, Community and Forums, ArcGISBlog and Help <\/b>which I had already seen some of these from the previous section of this class when one of the tutorials required us to create something on the website.<\/span><\/p>\n

When doing a read-through of <\/span>Get Started: What is ArcGIS Online<\/span> it was pretty basic and standard information.\u00a0 It laid out the basics for using ArcGIS Online along with what it is useful for.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The training course, <\/span>ArcGIS Online Basics<\/b> was easy to follow through and had a visualization of the information presented which made it easier to understand.\u00a0 The quizzes were also easy to do and were placed in a way that made it easier to recap each section which was useful.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The last thing I had to do for this week was to go on Google Scholar and look at something based on my own personal interests.\u00a0 I started with doing a general search of GIS applications related to birds and found an article on a Bird Migration and how ArcGIS online was used to create a story map that provides information on bird migration through animation maps that show the routes of different species of birds.\u00a0 My second search was related to the population of stray cats in specific areas which led me to an ArcGIS online story map which was not related to stray cats. It was still interesting as it took a look at how GIS was used to save their cat.\u00a0 They used GIS to look at the map of sewer networks and stormwater lines and used it to map where they needed to be to get their cat.<\/span><\/p>\n
