Kirsten's GE

My google earth project was about myself and where I have been. It starts out showing my house where I have lived since I was six. There are explanations of each location. The locations consist of every school I've been to, my moms work place, my sister's house, and vacation areas/field trips I've been to. On my project I made paths to places like my friends house from my house. I also used the polygons feature to show the area of a resort I stayed at in Florida. The third feature I used was the image overlay with this feature I uploaded pictures to some of a my plotted places to show what they look like and what I have experienced.

In this project I didn't start off clueless because I knew the program google earth for a couple of years, I just haven't made projects with it until now. I didn't realize before that it had many more features then just finding places. I struggled with the features like the polygons at first because I didn't understand how to make them. The more I used google earth, the more it became easier, so I had no trouble with the image overlay. Some tips for others who plan to use google earth, look up what the advanced features are before trying to do them because you can easily get things mixed up and it might be hard to fix.

    Kirsten,

    Your tour on the google earth project is very good. i like all the places that you put in it and it flowed pretty good. but i did realize that ours are very similar, which is okay with me. I would say yours is a lot better than mine. The description you have on all your places are very good and understanding. i like how you put the pics in, they make it so i know what it is like there. Well over all your google earth project is very well done! Good Job!! :)

    For some reason there is only one place marked on your map. According to you, there is more, but only one showed up on my computer. You might want to fix it.

    Hey Kirsten,
    you google earth project would be good but, you only have one place...I'm not sure if it just wont show up on my computer or if thats all you have. Either way you might want to check it out and see if you can fix it.
