I&#8217;m still learning how to navigate all the features it has, but overall I&#8217;m able to upload my CSV file into the system and begin creating a digital map and seeing how that works. As well as the limitation the tool has for example we are able to look at two variables at the time and another one could be if we didn&#8217;t had the subscription with the school it&#8217;s incredibly expensive to purchase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reflection questions, what do you notice about the data and how it could be mapped? What do you notice about your visualization as you change its drawing style and customize its appearance?<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Something that I noticed about the data and how it could be mapped is that sometimes when you look at the location of your points it&#8217;s not always correct or accurate on where that location may be. Something to keep in mind when looking at the map is to have some hesitation and not rely on location specifically, but it does give a rough estimate or where the place can be.<\/li>\n<li>The visualizations changed and it can vary depending on what we want it to look like. For example the blue print feature, as well as the colors laid out as our variables with changing what color we want our dots to be.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>How would you feel about helping someone else learn how to use ArcGIS Online? What did you find most interesting? What did you find most frustrating? What questions do you still have, and what parts of the tool do you want to explore more deeply?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>I feel somewhat confident, I think I&#8217;m able to demonstrate some key features like how to upload you CSV to the system, how to create your data into a CSV, how to change your layout etc. Other than more technical stuff as of now no, I think I just need more practice and become more familiar with the tool. Some of the parts of the tool that I want to explore more deeply on the tools and coding part of it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reflect on the experience of learning how to use ArcGIS Online for digital mapping.
