Using GIS is different than any other program I've ever used because it has aspects of different programs. Plugging in the data showed me how using the different tools you could manipulate the data by what tool you use.  This lab was difficult for me because I am not a computer expert, so I had to make most of the knowledge I had. Paying attention to the words in red in the instructions really helped. I was confused about the metadata and how to access the actual code of the data. The other steps went fairly easy through trial and error I figured out how to build my map, enter the text and other requirements
