Here are some details about this map:
1-I wanted to do a project about smoking because my grandfather
smokes and I worry about his health. I decided to map the smoking rates
of each state and see which state smokes the least and most.
2-The map can benefit EAST students making posters about smoking
and a visual to any observer as to what is going on with smoking in each state.
3-I started this project to teach others (students and
clients/partners) how to map but decided that it could be used for other
student projects not just for training along with our George Hines, MLK, and
Arkansas Cemeteries Maps.
4-One of the problems I had was creating the map into a Story
Map. We are still trying to figure out the steps to creating a webserver
but haven’t figured it out yet. We completed a story map using just arcgis.com
> Creating a Web Application but could not put all the training maps
together as we had planned.
5-So far team members have:
*completed marking points for each state and smoking rate and next
steps; continuing to mark points of
interest for the George Hines Family Tree Map, MLK Map, and we are expecting to
begin the Arkansas Cemeteries map next.
6- Next steps for this project:
*locating
photographs/documents to help emphasize the story to be told by the maps
(example: smoking issues faced by
states) *trying to complete a similar map in ArcGIS Desktop
*compiling the smoking map
with all training maps into one Story Map
(Smoking Map, George H. Hines, MLK, Life and Times, and Arkansas
Cemeteries).
7-Skills learned in doing the
project:
*accessing and login into an online mapping program (arcgis.com)
*search and find location
*mark points adding description
*view and scale location
*saving
a map
