GIS

What is GIS? How is it useful? Before class on Monday, March 22, I asked myself these questions. The GIS Research and Map Collection (GRMC) is an included GIS lab and customary map collection found on Bracken Library’s second floor. This collection consists of a wide range of resources, including over 145,000 paper maps, GIS data, atlases and more. I had no idea GIS had so many maps and atlas. We learned how to locate, and make a map that all of us have access to. Maps could be used for papers, speeches, and especially our facebook project.

Located under our classes GIS section there are useful resources that we could use for our projects. For my project I used the “smoking location maps” (left) and “a photo of Carmiacheal and Johnson B building.” Both are photos on our page!

Also this week we had a timed writing on Friday, which was a controversy about Alaska's governor Palin, and American's animated sitcom Family Guy. (right) In this writing were to demonstrate our progression in our writing and our knowledge about logos, pathos and ethos. I really like the article, and thought it was easy to write about, and it allowed students to have different views to write about.


Furthermore, projects will be presented on Monday, and I believe my teams progress is quit well. We are following the time line and the page was created pictures are up, a video is up, and fan are being added!
