Week 4: Mapping

Before I talk about the activities from week four I want to mention that this week my group also finished up our video from last week. We ended up changing topics because our first topic was getting very complicated and was going to take a lot of work. Once we got going it ended up being fairly simple. I liked getting to be creative and add things like transitions and sounds or music into the video. I really enjoyed getting to make this video.

This week in class get got to work with Google Earth. I had used it a couple times before but I had never really looked all that into everything it does. I think that the mapping thing we did in class was really cool. I did mine on 5 of the lighthouses on the Oregon coast.

I think that this could be a really cool resource in a classroom. It could be used in many different ways and on many different topics. Even just Google Earth in general could be used as a resource for students in so many subjects. It can be used to give students a realistic view of a place that may be very far away. I also really like that it can be used to view in the ocean and outer space.
