So have I have met with my professor about 4 times this semester. We have a decent idea of what we want the project to look like and in the end. That being a navigable website for students and people in the community to interact and learn more about the trees on campus, what types, their environmental impact and other facts most people don’t know about them when walking around day-day. what apps and other programs we want to use to make that happen. This program being arGIS experience builder, right now I’m still working through some tutorials and plan to take steps towards larger work on the app itself after fall break. Me and my professor plan to meet after the break to discuss some more ways to meet with people within the prairie center here at Grinnell to get their feedback on what I show them after a couple weeks. I feel the obstacles so far are that I am coming in with zero or minimal gis experience so I’m having to teach myself the work and also find videos and other places online where to get the information. After the break I will be taking a GIS course here at the college and I hope this will help me with my skills and getting my way towards the project later on. I also might be helpful practicing the gis skills outside of work and asking questions about it to classmates and the professor. Other main obstacles have been just the timing of midterms really. This week I have been packed with multiple papers, two exams and a mini-project which has eaten up a vast majority of my time the last two weeks. I do hope things quiet down the week I get back so I have devoted more time to this project. One question is where would be the best place to find a GIS tutorial on a similar locator that’s like on google maps that tracks your location.
