A. Log in to www.arcgis.com using the user account that was emailed to you. Along the top navigation menu (if you are in the Map Viewer Classic, or at the top left if you are in the New Map Viewer mode), click on Gallery. Choose a map or product to explore. The content in this gallery defaults to those maps and products made by University of Toledo members, who are mostly Graduate Students in the Department of Geography and Planning. There are other items there too, so explore a few of them before you continue, and find one that interests you the most. Click to open that item and then explore it. Take a screenshot of the map or product you chose to explore, and write a few sentences about what you found interesting about it. 

B. Go back to the www.arcgis.com homepage, and along the top navigation menu, click on Map. Your default view will likely be the entire United States. At the top left, click on Basemap, and change the basemap to something other than the default view (for example, change it to Satellite or Hybrid, instead of the Topographic base map that it defaults to). Then, on the top left again, click on Add and select Browse Living Atlas Layers. You can browse through the whole list, or you can enter a search term of interest to you. For example, type in the term "Urban Heat" and see what layers come up. Add a layer to the map and explore it. Try zooming in and out, and click on individual data points (if possible) to explore them. Grab a screenshot of your exploration and add it to your google doc for this assignment. In a few sentences, explain what you were looking at, and why you wanted to explore it. 

C. Go back to the www.arcgis.com homepage, and along the top navigation menu, click on Map again. Along the top right, in the search field, type in an address of interest to you. For example, your home or school address. Hit enter and the map will zoom to that location. Use the Measure tools (at the top) to measure the area of something there, for example, your entire property, or your yard, or your school's playground. Change the unit so it displays in Square Meters. Grab a screenshot, write down what the location is and what the area in square meters was. Also try playing with the other tools (for example, the Distance tool). Note: if you are in the New Map Viewer mode, you can bring up the search field by clicking on the spy glass search icon at the bottom right. 

D. Go back to the www.arcgis.com homepage, and along the top naviation menu, click on Scene, which is the 3D map view (similar to Google Earth). In the popup window that immediately shows up (called Scene Viewer), click on one of the items in that gallery and explore it. Try turning layers on and off, and zooming around using both tools: the one that looks like a crosshatch of two arrows, and the other one that looks like a dot with a circular arrow going around it. Grab a screenshot of some portion of your exploration, and describe what you were looking at and why you chose to do so. 

E. (Suggest reading through all of these instructions before starting this one). Go back to the www.arcgis.com homepage, and along the top naviation menu, click on Scene again. Close out the Scene Viewer pop up window, and in the Search field, type in an address or location of interest to you. The view will zoom in to this location. Change the Basemap to Imagery or Imagery with Labels using the icon menu bar on the right. Then, using both of the tools described in part D above, zoom around your location and explore it. Also try clicking on the Sun icon on the right and change the time of day to view different shadow effects. Grab a screenshot and in a few sentences, explain what the location is and what you found interesting about it when you used the various tools to explore it. Note: not all locations will have the full 3D effect enabled (my own home location did not). If this is the case, go to a different location to try out all of the options. More popular places (for example, national parks, icons, etc.) will be more likely to have the full 3D view enabled. To view a great example, type in Grand Canyon in the search field. Make sure the Basemap is set to Imagery, and use the 3D zoom tools to explore it. Try other popular tourist destinations around the world, too. 

Instructions:

A. View Sara's tutorial for viewing GLOBE data within GLOBE's Visualization System, exporting it as a .csv file, and importing it into ArcGIS Online. Choose some GLOBE data of your choosing, export it as a .csv, and bring it into an ArcGIS Online map. Be sure to select the correct field for display on your map, and change the symbology to best represent the data you are showing. Capture a screenshot and add it to your google doc for this assignment. 

B. Utilize the Living Atlas database to add a new layer to your map. Suggest adding the Urban Heat Islands layer shown in the tutorial. Zoom in to your area of interest and map your data on top of that layer. Change the basemap to a different style - for example, Imagery with Labels. Capture a screenshot and add it to your google doc for this assignment. 

C. Create a presentation-style map. Once you've zoomed in to your area of interest and have added your GLOBE data and another layer from the Living Atlas database, at the top of the map within ArcGIS Online, click on Save As. Give your map a name that indicates precisely what it is showing. Then, hover over each layer and click on the ". . ." next to the layer, and select Rename. Give each layer a better name than the auto-generated one from the GLOBE export process. Be sure to keep the data type and date info in the title. Then, at the top of the ArcGIS Online map view, click on Print, and select Print Map with Legend. Wala! You will then have a finalized map that is in a great presentation format to add to your final presentation. Do this for as many maps as you need to tell the story of your research. Capture a screenshot of one of your finalized maps and add it to your google doc for this assignment.
