Lab 1
Lab 1
Goal and Background
This lab requires both a web map and a story map to be constructed in order to give the student a basic understanding of web map development and also ArcGIS Online.
Methods
Part 1 -- In this part, I was instructed to explore a web map, save it, and make some changes to my copy of it. Section 1-- I first logged on to ArcGIS Online and searched for the web map: "Hawaii Island Lava Flow Risk". Once found, I first explored some surface level information such as the map's creator (Learn_ArcGIS), its description, amount of layers, etc. I then clicked "open in map viewer" to open the map. I then searched through its features such as lava flow hazard zones and general volcano information. Section 2 -- I was instructed to click the content button on the map's side panel and examine some of the maps layers and other contents. Section 3 -- In the map's contents, I clicked on the properties of the Hazard Zones and adjusted the transparency without saving my changes. I was also instructed to change the basemap to Oceanic and back to Topographic. Section 4 -- Here, I saved a copy of the map as: "Hawaii Island Lava Flow Risk-GIBBS_19" into my contents. I then clicked on the Highways layer and customized its symbol. I then returned to "my contents" and checked the box on my map to make it shareable with GEOG455Fall19.
Part 2 -- I clicked map-new map-create new map to start a completely new map. I changed the basemap to Topographic. I panned to the large island of Hawaii and zoomed into it. I then clicked add-search for layers to add layers: Hawaii Lava Flow Zone Hazards, Volcanoes, Hawaii Terrain, and Hawaii Island Major Highways (all layers by Learn_ArcGIS.) I then saved the map as "Hawaii Island Lava Flow Hazard Zones_GIBBS_19", gave it tags: Lava, Volcanoes, Hazards, Hawaii, and added a summary: "Lava flow hazard zones with volcanoes on Hawaii Island". I then saved the map. Section 2 -- I renamed Hawaii Island Major Highways and gave it the name, "Highways". I gave Hawaii Lava Flow Hazards the name, "Hazards". I renamed Hawaii Terrain, "Terrain". After this, I changed the label font for Volcanoes to 14 and the transparency of the Highways layer to 50%. Section 3 -- Next, I hid the layer properties for Terrain. Section 4 -- I clicked on volcanoes on the map to see their information. When I clicked on various highways on the map, nothing happened. I clicked on the Highways properties, and selected enable pop-up.
Part 3 section 1 -- I first created a new web map in ArcGIS Online and added a terrain with labels basemap. I then zoomed to the lab's featured extent of Austin, Texas and saved the map as Geog 368 Texas Field Trip_Gibbs_19. I gave it tags: Field trip, Geography, and Texas. For its summary, I typed: "Field activities carried out in Texas." I clicked on the recently created map and selected Create Web App - Using a Template. I chose the template Story Map Tour, created a summary, and clicked "done". Section 2 -- I clicked "I need to upload my images", "create the layer", and "add". I then clicked "Select or drop picture", navigated to my class folder, and uploaded 10 images of the Texas field trip with their corresponding coordinates in the Location tab. I then shared the tour as both a web map and also a web app.

Results:
Hawaii Map
This web app provides end-users with volcano locations and attribute information as well as lava flow hazard zones on the island of Hawaii
Texas Story Map
With this web app, end-users can follow along with University of Wisconsin Eau Claire geography
students on their field trip through Texas.
