Training on Arc Map & Arc Catalog
On the week of July 2, 2007- July 6, 2007 we didn't go outside, we started learning a new program called Arc Map and Arc Catalog GIS. On this particular program we learn how to create our very own map. We learn to put the data that we have been collecting for the past four weeks on a map. Arc Map is a very easy program to adapt to when you learn the tricks and trades of the program. This is a list of things we have done this week:

Arc Map is a very easy program to adapt to when you learn the tricks and trades of the program. This is a list of things we have done this week:
- We learn how to create layers in put them in order so the map can look right.
- We learn how to produce data in Microsoft Excel and transfer it to GIS to make an attribute table.
- Also, we learn how to convert files into layers.
What is GIS?
GIS is a collection of computer hardware, software, and geographic data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. With a geographic information system (GIS), you can link information (attributes) to location data, such as people to addresses, buildings to parcels, or streets within a network. You can then layer that information to give you a better understanding of how it all works together. You choose what layers to combine based on what questions you need to answer
