Lexi's Google Earth Project

My Google Earth project is about a few of the winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature. I chose to do this topic because literature is one of my interests and the Nobel Prize is a prestigious award. I decided to do winners from all over the world because I found their cultures and reasons for writing intriguing. For features I used image overlays, so you could see a picture of all the winners, layers and also distance measuring.
I had a lot of trouble with layers because I couldn’t find any that were relevant to my project, but in the end I found some that worked. The easiest feature to use was image overlay, all you had to do was find the picture and upload it into the description. In using Google Earth I would suggest knowing exactly what you’re going to do and making sure you can make a great project out of it. All in all Google Earth is a fascinating application, but is very confusing to use at times.
