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.
Picture worth a thousand words…
Examples of Visuals Verizon – “coverage” map
“Which is more” campaign
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
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.
The Human Brain - Relational Database
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”
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
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
GIS Terms for “Us”
Layer Data Point Polygon Join Set Attribute

Them Us
Remember GASB 34?
Fixed Assets
Add layers to the map with the data you want in them…
And what if Amendment 4 passes?
Revenue Forecasting
Expense Forecasting

A little challenge…
Can I do GIS?
What do you know? ERP? Microsoft Excel? Microsoft Word? Microsoft PowerPoint? Microsoft Access? Bing Maps?
GIS?
Data “Joins” – Linking by common field
Joins – links to your data Some joins are only temporary or on the
“fly” Some joins are persistent and used over
and over again
