Week 6

Google Maps

This week we uploaded picture on wiki and google my map as per the below link.

I learnt that with Google Maps they can be used for other purposes than just finding out where somewhere is in the world. What I learnt was that you can actually create my maps from the maps already available. This week we took a picture at the University and then created our own online map of where that picture was taken and added a pin so that if you clicked on it you could see where it was and add text to it.

This would be useful to setup with your class or design a unit using other digital tools for an exploration topic adding pictures and text for notes of interst. I could see how this could be used with Early Phase students to get them interacting with real life experiences, whether fictional or non-fictional.
