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. I will also share how you can embed our collaborative map
below.
