imw2014 tools scan
DESCRIPTION
This slidedeck presents a brief scan of the web mapping and geographic information (GIS) tools that were explored during the Indigenous Mapping Workshop 2014 (IMW2014) held at the University of Victoria 25-28 August 2014. The workshop was attended by 100+ participants, representing more than 40 First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities from across Canada. The Workshop was jointly hosted/organized by the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs, the Firelight Group, Google Earth Outreach, and the University of Victoria, Anthropology Department. The scan is not comprehensive, favouring the tools that were explored in the Day3/4 "deep dives". More information on the tools and workshop are available here: http://imwcanada.earthoutreach.orgTRANSCRIPT

Tool #1. Google Earth
• Google Earth is a virtual globe, map and geographical information program. It maps the Earth by the superimposition of images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial photography and geographic information system (GIS) 3D globe.
• As of October 2011, Google Earth has been downloaded more than a billion times.
• For some parts of the surface of the Earth, 3D images of terrain and buildings are available
• Available free or US$399/year for Pro

Easy to add points, lines and polygons
At IMW2014, we also discussed uploading a Shapefile or KML file.

How are screen overlays different from image overlays?
#1 Screen overlays are anchored relative to the screen. Image (ground) overlays are anchored relative to the ground.#2 Image (ground) overlays can be added with the toolbar button. Screen overlays are added in the KML code.#3 In the above examples, the legend and logos are screen overlays and the wetland map is a image (ground) overlay.
Screen overlay (e.g. logos) Image overlay (e.g. thematic map layer)

IMW2014 Tools Scan Slidedeck assembled by Charles Burnett GeoMemes Research | UVic [email protected]
IMW2014 slidedeck slides were re-used with permission. You can find the original workshop slide decks athttp://imwcanada.earthoutreach.org/training-materials
Note:This scan is not comprehensive. There were many tools demonstrated during the first two days of IMW@2014 that I do
not have images for. And, I could not be at every workshop session.
If I have omitted a tool that should be in this list, please email me at [email protected]. I would be very happy to include more free-ish tools!
