Making Web Maps with Google Fusion Tables

Fusion Tables is an experimental data visualization web application (launched in 2009) to gather, visualize, and share data tables. You can create web maps (e.g. dot maps, choropleths, heat maps) in a matter of minutes. It is a relatively easy-to-use tool and ideal for sharing data and visualizations with collaborators. Fusion Tables also has its own API for developers that allow for more complex data viz. We’ll also discuss how it compares and can be used in conjunction with Google My Maps. No programming  background required for this workshop. Although HTML or programming knowledge is beneficial.
