Assignment 1: Getting started with the Geoweb
Part 1: geojson.io
Experiment with geojson.io. Create some data, save the data as a gist, and submit the URL to the resulting gist. Your data should include at least five geometries and should have at least one attribute that is populated for each geometry. Try including multiple geometry types and mapping something you know fairly well. For example, you could map you commute to school with significant points of interest along the way.
Part 2: CartoDB
Create an account at CartoDB with your @newschool.edu address. Work through CartoDB's Beginners course, Lesson 1 and Lesson 2. We will be talking about this more in class, so don't worry if it doesn't fully make sense. Submit a public URL to a visualization that you make using CartoDB while working through these lessons as proof that you worked through them.
Submitting your work
Submit a link to your work from Part 1 as well as a link to your work from Part 2. You may optionally choose to include a short paragraph response or summary of your work.
