  2. From the Visual Teaching Alliance • FACT: Approximately 65% of the population are visual learners. • FACT: The brain processes visual information 60,000 X’s faster than text. • FACT: 90% of information that comes to the brain is visual. • FACT: 40% of all nerve fibers connected to the brain are linked to the retina. • FACT: Visual aids in the classroom improve learning by up to 400%. • FACT: Students who are twice exceptional (2e) are often visual learners.

  3. Picture worth a thousand words…

  4. Examples of Visuals • Verizon – “coverage” map • “Which is more” campaign

  5. When does Visual not work? • When you use images not common to your audience • When the data being presented has too many elements at one time • If doing a comparison and the difference is not visually discernible

  6. GIS - What is it? • Acronym – Geographic Information System (Graphical) • As Defined by ESRI - A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts. A GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared. GIS technology can be integrated into any enterprise information system framework.

  8. What can GIS Do? • Help analyze large amounts of data • Present data in an easy to understand format • Marry non-contiguous or heterogeneous data • Create “visual impact”

  9. Where can we use GIS? • Fixed Assets • Identification and quantification • Budgeting • Revenue forecasting/projecting • Expense forecasting/projecting • Project Descriptions • Special Assessments • CRA’s • Disaster Recovery

  10. Special Notes of interest • GIS can graph also like Excel • GIS can route like a GPS for your car • GIS can produce schedules like Excel which can be used for mail merge and other uses

  11. GIS Terms for “Us” Them Us • Layer • Data Point • Polygon • Join Set • Attribute • Schedule • Address or PCN • Area or Shape • Lookup table or Crosswalk • Format or Information

  12. Fixed Assets Remember GASB 34?

  13. Add layers to the map with the data you want in them…

  14. Revenue Forecasting And what if Amendment 4 passes?

  20. Data “Joins” – Linking by common field
