Hi there
I hope you had a good break last week!
This week you are going to complete your spreadsheet getting ready for starting the GIS part of of your project by adding categories to you data.
I will go through an example in class which I will add to this post on the blog. Those of you that finish can start getting to know the GIS software we will be using (Arc GIS 10) by following the tutorial below.
Introduction to ArcGIS 10
If you do get this far you will need a GIS map layer to use. We are going to use GIS information of a world map in the form of a shape file. The shape file, an ESRI format for saving GIS information, has become a standard format for GIS vector information. When you unzip the file below you will notice that it is not one file. A "shape file" always consists of three or more files.

Don't worry if you don't get to the GIS introduction this week we'll contiue next week when I will explaonit all in full!
Cheers
Martin
