I think the things I learned the most this semester is sometimes you just need confidence to do what you want. This semester I started out with no knowledge of GIS and digital mapping but now I can do a decent amount with arcGIS online, Experience and Pro. I am happy that I really did not rush learning it and just took my time little by little to make sure I did not lose track or get lost. I would tell myself at the beginning of the year that it’s okay to not know something and you have time to learn and progress is slow and something that you can’t see in the moment and stop worrying about the state of it now. The training I felt the best on were probably ones like arcGIS, audio recording and editing since I’ve already had prior experience with them. I think being given wiki really helped my learning of new skills like with Omeka. I think the parts that I found the most confusing were probably just errors I ran into like when Audacity crashed mid edit, that was probably more annoying than confusing. I’m still trying to figure out the problems with that right now. My leading guess for those is that I have a mac. The next steps for my project is to try and meet with Professor Queathem again before winter break if not, which seems likely because she has been sick and has not written back to my two emails. I would like to discuss what feedback the Prairie studies students have for me and give them the opportunities to explore and look at the current state of the map, what things they would want me to add to the project and maybe have it be a monthly thing. Also in the same vein maybe ask some other professors who remember the old tree map if they had some ideas and also someone who is skilled in design could help (I am no arts but I try), but those are things I would like to discuss with Professor Queathem first. For my documentation so far I have four titles: Finding the Grinnell Tree Map, EcoCampus info, Hosted Feature Layer and New Data for the Tree Inventory. Over the weekend I was reviewing in hopes to submit last week but felt like I could do a better job so I’m going to take some time to make edits and changes to improve before submitting later on.
