My Computer Applications class was given the assignment to make a "Google Earth Path" as I would like to call it. While I was experimenting with Google Earth I made a lot of progress showing a lot of my life. I made a path of two houses that I have lived in, the first road I lived on, schools that I have attended, daily walks that I would (and do) take, Churches that I have attended, first job location, and even image overlays to give the viewers a better image of the locations that I have marked.
This project I think went very well for me. I think that everything was very self explanitory. The only trouble that I had was learning how to save my places. It was hard for me to understand because I would always end up saving the wrong place. After though, I had realized that you have click on the title "My Places" that contains all your places, and then save it to the desktop. After you then save it to the desktop you transfer it into your folder. But besides that, making paths were simple, and finding locations and pinning them were simple.

That is the link to my google map.
Do you think you could find an educational use for this application. It's great that you found a way to sort of follow the path of your life, and I would encourage you to email your file to family and friends!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think that you could use as an educational application just depending on what you are working on. Like if you are doing it on war sites, and historical locations and such then yes. In my case though, I just used mine as an outline for my life.
