Hi Students
Today we are going continue learning how to use the GIS program ArcGIS which you started to use last week. If you are lost with ArcGIS take a look at last weeks tutorial.
You should by now have your spreadsheets ready in the way I have explained.
1. First row contains the column headings for the data which consists of less than 25 chraracters [numbers, letters (upper and lower case) - or _ and nothing else.]
2. Second row downwards in the spreadsheetcontains just your data.
3. At least one category colunm has been added by you to to your spreadsheet.
Last week you leant how to open ArcGIS 10, open the world mapper shape file and save your work as a .mxd file. Some of you may also have changed the maps symbology!
Today we are going to join youir data in the spreadsheet to that of the world mapper shape file's attribute table thus bringing your data into the GIS so that it can be viewed spatially.
Download the tutorial below which explains joining table and adding symbology (for those that haven't tried this yet).
Joining tables and adding symbology
Good luck and have fun
