PAGE - Reflections

Here is a list of all the steps, in sequence, of how I accomplished this project:
- First, we had to choose a topic for the assignment
- Decided on a driving question
- Gathered and researched on the topic we chose
- Started on google earth
- Made a placemark on google earth
- Did a write up in our placemark using the researched we gathered on our topic
- Collected images off the internet, and used magazine and newspapers images to use for a slideshow or video for our placemark
- Copied and pasted the HTML code into the KML file
- Went through HTML code and cut out parts we needed to cut out, and copied our own work into the parts so it was our topic, not Peter's
- Uploaded our pictures
- Uploaded our links to websites
- Uploaded our video or slideshow

I am thrilled with my work because at the beginning of the unit, I thought this was going to be a hard task, but after getting help from people, it really wasn't as bad as I thought. I am also happy with my work because I think the final part looked pretty good.

I never thought I would be able to use google earth and make my own placemark and put my own research into it. I never knew you could put video's or slideshow's into google earth, and I had a fun time collecting the pictures and making the slideshow.

The thing that was most difficult, I thought, was going through the HTML code and cutting out the parts that needed to be cut out, and replacing it with the information that I collected. It was hard to go through and know what needed to be taken out, and what parts of the code needed to stay.

Madeleine,

You have done an extremely fine job on both your Google Earth multimedia project and on your serious considerations and reflections about it.

It is awesome to watch you learn so many cool new skills and concepts and to see you being so successful! Yahoo!
