This lab was defiantly the most difficult for me thus far. In the latter part fo the exercise I had trouble mapping trhe highway data attributes for major highways in Ohio. I didnt know you had to double click on the highway attribute to put it in the box in the bottom. For my two map projections I added People that are 65 anmd older and those who are black. the projection I picked shows the earth from the top (north) and has everything spread out in a spherical way. On the outsides of the projections if a circle which outlines the ends of the earth.
I had trouble with the map attributes and picking a country. My instructor helped me with this.
Map Document- different document entities which contain your different map projections
Table of Contents- On the right bar and has the different data entries contained in the map
Data Frame- according to the ESRI site a data frame is the most fundamental element in arcGIS. A data frame hols different properties which will be projected on your map
Map Layer- Layers of different attributes which can be added to the world map which can be turned on and off at will
Attribute Table- table which holds the content of the different attributes on the ARC GIS map
While browsing the ESRI website i found alot of different articles that caught my interest. IN particular i thought it was pretty cool that you could enroll in online training courses, the next of which is in about 2 days from now, and that there are arcGIS events held all over the world
