ArcGIS is a really powerful tool that allows us to create interactive information maps. This tool could combine the GIS map and other information (such as 3D models, text, and pictures). If you want to know how to use this powerful tool, the first step is, surely, open the app. So, firstly, you can search […]
I am in charge of the GIS story map in our project. I used the ArcGIS Story map to generate our presentation template. We decided to use the sidecar to present the whole project. At the first page, we’ll have an overall introduction of his life, including the places he had been and the poems […]
I want to see us recognize the work of the educators, those that analyze and characterize and critique, everyone who fixes things, all the other people who do valuable work with and for others—above all, the caregivers—whose work isn’t about something you can put in a box and sell. —— Why I Am Not a […]
Thoughts: We will focus on the reconstruction of one of the buildings in the Forbidden City. Besides constructing the 3-d model, we may align it in a story map and present background information of it, such as the procedure of the construction or the historical stories lay behind it. Here is the group block link:
For midterm, I decided to do the 3-D model of Northfield Depot by using Agisoft Metashape. Here’s the link: http://midterm.com.silaszhao.com/blog/
This map shows the distribution of Squirrel and the internet access among different age groups, created on ArcGIS. The process of making a GIS map like this is not hard. This map has two layers: the density of squirrel and internet access among different age groups.
This is my first time of hosting a website, and it’s a really new and interesting experience for me. It takes me some time to get familier with the site, and the feeling of controlling everything in my website is great. I think I will definitely devote more time to study how to manage my […]
Should humanities students learn how to code? My answer is, yes! Not only because digitalization is a future trend, but also students could learn a different way to think. What’s more, as Matthew G. Kirschenbaum mentioned, all programming entails world-making which align the function of writing novels or creating movies. These three reasons make coding […]
Georgetown University, once rooted in slavery, created a website which shows a genealogy of descendants of the 272 African American slaves sold in 1838 for the benefit of the Jesuit college (the predecessor of Georgetown University). The Georgetown Slavery Archive presents relative material about the Maryland Jesuits, Georgetown University, and slavery. This project was started […]
Sketchme is a wonderful app to generate 3-D work, but it was a little bit challenging to me because it was the first time that I use the app like this. The unfamiliarity of the app bogged me down. The instruction videos showed how to manifest the old version of Sketchup, thus I couldn’t find […]
