🎯 Learning Intention

I can organize location-based data into a spreadsheet that can be used in a GIS map.

✅ Success Criteria

I created a feature table in Google Sheets using my campus map sketch and formatted it for GIS import.

Before we can map anything digitally, we have to organize the data that feeds the map. A clean, well-structured table isn’t just technical—it’s powerful. The way we name things determines how we see things. And that’s the first step in changing them.
