Maps 2


Here is a capture of my map in Google Earth.  I did not zoom in very closely because I wanted all of my points visible.  This is not the first time I have used Google Earth.  I have played around with it many times including zooming in close enough to look at my property.  However, this is the first time I uploaded anything into Google Earth.  The whole process was fairly simple and easy to follow.  Upon doing this assignment was the first time I encountered KML before so I had to research and find out exactly what it stood for.  I determined that the acronym stood for "Keyhole Markup Language" and is used to take two dimensional information and place it into three dimensional format.  I really like Google Earth and I think it is a great tool for educators to use with their students.
