The data used in the workshop will include geocoded CSV data and demographic data from Esri\u2019s online database. To begin to understand the capabilities of the online mapping platform, the workshop will introduce layer content, as well as, editing layer display in the web map.\u00a0<b>(50 minutes)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>No previous GIS skills are required, simply an interest in spatial thinking and data exploration are necessary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Intermediate Web Mapping<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The intermediate web mapping workshop will build on the previous web mapping workshop by working with the same data, but expanding upon analysis. First we will explore additional editing capabilities, and explain which types of layers are available for which types of editing. Next, the available spatial analysis tools will be discussed, with one being applied to the web map. The final part of the workshop will be an introduction to the sharing and publishing capabilities of ArcGIS Online (AGOL), in which all students will share their webmap publically to make the map accessible via URL for convenient web-based viewing.<b>(50 minutes)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Introduction to web mapping workshop is required to participate in the Intermediate workshop.
