Google Maps Project
What is our current influence on our world? What out there influences us?
Create a Google Map entitled “Your Name’s Map.” Click on “My Maps” > “Create new Map.”
Make sure your map is public.
Create a 65 x 65 pixel custom icon from a picture of yourself with a transparent background and save online as a GIF.
Add a minimum of 5 entries on the map each with paragraph description of the significance of the location in your life. Each entry must include an image or embedded video. At least one entry must have an embedded video.
Avoid specific addresses of residences. For instance, if you’d like to include where you live, place an icon on a community park, school, church, shopping center, or some other place of interest, rather than your house.
At least one entry must be outside of the United States. This could be someplace your ancestors are from, somewhere you visited, someplace that has a cultural influence on you (e.g. Japanese Anime, Italian Food, British Music, etc.) Use your imagination.
Send me a link to your map by clicking “send” in the upper right hand corner of the page.
