Well, here we are, almost a year since my last post. I'm still on a steep and time consuming learning curve what with forums, websites, wiki's, You Tube etc, etc... but I'm going to have another go with this!
Google maps has come up recently on the Techknow website, the expanded coverage of Street Views and now the 3D button - hence the glasses!
I want to know more about creating on line maps with data imposed on them by using data sensors and GPS devices that is possible for students to use in science. The SEPS link http://www.sep.org.uk/teacher/was recently posted on Techknow and I am now enrolled (took 5 days to get the email) and have access to a downloadable booklet called ' ICT in practical science: new approaches to data collection and and analysis'. It's impossible to read a 58 page document on a screen so I'll wait until after the Easter break to see if someone at work has it. MUTR http://www.mutr.co.uk/ do but it's £6.
NOW I know that Google maps is not the same as Google Earth. I'd already spent some time playing with 'My Maps' in Google Maps, setting up an unlisted map marked with all the places that we had visited with my mother-in-law - with dates and info on what we did - (no, we didn't bury her in bits!) over the Easter weekend. How to insert photos is still a mystery though. Actually, that map will be useful for future visits by her and friends but it doesn't help with my original mission. AND although I've downloaded Google Earth 5 successfully it doesn't work, computer says 'program not responding'. Humpf...!
