INTRODUCTION

Mobile devices are revolutionizing the way our nation consumes information.

The School District Demographics System (SDDS) map viewer is now available for use on tablet devices(iPad and Android).

This session presents an overview of current efforts to bring the SDDS to mobile devices and some technology incorporated into it.

MOBILE COMPUTING

Mobile Computing has been growing exponentially over the past few years.

More and more people are turning to mobile devices to accomplish their daily tasks.

Wi-Fi, 3g, 4g, and other networks provide access to information any time anywhere in the world.

WHY ARE MOBILE DEVICES SO POPULAR?

The ability to access information in an instant.

You can also access some of your home and or work files by using cloud storage or remote desktop.

They are just plain fun.

MOBILE DEVICES COMPARED TO PC’S

This chart shows the difference in slope between PC’s sales and mobile device sales.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? We are in a mobile digital world now days. Businesses and websites need to change

and adapt to how consumers are using the internet

ADAPTING TO THIS MOBILE WORLD

Build mobile friendly website

Build Native application iOS – Objective-C Android - Java iOS/Android -

HTML5/PhoneGap

Build a universal web application

Uses HTML5 and JavaScript which is supported on desktop computers, tablet devices, and smartphones

GOOD EXAMPLES

Some websites that are mobile friendly FEMA

THE SDDS MOBILE MAP VIEWER http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/sdds/ed/mobile/ Shows new data sets.

THE SDDS MOBILE MAP VIEWER

Data can be viewed on the National level and on the State level

TECHNOLOGY USED IN THE MOBILE MAP VIEWER Web friendly HTML: runs on both desktop and mobile browsers System is deployed on Amazon EC2 Cloud Servers (Part of the Geocloud program) Latest Esri Technologies:

JavaScript API version 3.0 ArcGIS Server 10.1 – released June 12, 2012

TECHNOLOGY USED IN THE MOBILE MAP VIEWER

Uses retina-quality images that look good on a regular tablet and look good on the new retina-display iPad.

Since this web app was written with HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS, it will run on any 10” tablet device that supports JavaScript.

WHAT THIS TECHNOLOGY MEANS FOR THE USER?

Since it is using the newest ArcGIS Server, 10.1, it allows for a lot of the applications work to be done on the server and not on the actual device.

WHAT THIS TECHNOLOGY MEANS FOR YOU?

You can select different ways to distribute the data to help you see the differences between school districts, counties, and states all with the touch of a button.

WHAT THIS TECHNOLOGY MEANS FOR YOU? Mobile SDDS offers five new base maps from

ArcGIS.com

WHAT THIS TECHNOLOGY MEANS FOR THE USER?

You can add optional layers to see even more data by simply selecting a checkbox.

New Optional Layers

WHAT THIS TECHNOLOGY MEANS FOR THE USER?

Has the ability to be saved to the users home screen so they can view it in full screen as if it were a native application.

NEXT STEPS

Continuing development on Mobile Map Viewer

Working to insure the map stays up to date with all the

latest data
