The Crib Sheet:
Overview: Google Maps (workshop outline)
Your project for this workshop is to access our collaborative map and input a placemark on a location in which you have had a vacation or would like to vacation. We will then modify the placemark by adding the following content: text, images, video. You will also be modifying the placemark itself. Time permitting we will create a short walking tour of no more than one mile at our vacation location and input useful content along the route. Our collaborative map can be found here The Palm Springs Convention Center View Larger Map Additional street view resources can be found here And if the above wasn't enough, UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) has the following with Google Maps Street View at the Winter Olympic Games Link to gallery page is here Curriculum Integration Ideas
