Violet (IL - Illinois state flower - Viola sororia): Some pictures from a visit 2 weeks ago to 'Berkeley Springs State Park warm pools' in nearby West Virginia in Google Street View which is Google Maps ... * Google India & Google Africa - Invitation for Free session on Google Maps and Google Earth

 

Google Educator Groups GEG Google India & Google Africa

Invitation for Free session on Google Maps and Google Earth


Dear Vishal, Fred, All, 

Thanks for this session on Google Maps and Google Earth. Appears that it's at 7 am Eastern Time USA on Monday (and 4am Pacific Time in California, where I may move back to in September, since I'm in asylum in Pennsylvania, as a whistleblower).

1
Just adding some pictures from a visit 2 weeks ago to 'Berkeley Springs State Park' in nearby West Virginia in Google Street View which is Google Maps ... 

(and will do so from smartphone)

and here's the Map view of 'Berkeley Springs State Park' ... 


2
What I'm seeking to develop further is a new social theory and method for all of us creating a realistic virtual earth in Google Street View with a time slider, and for research which I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - 
(where 
'ethnography' is an interpretive academic writing practice about people)
'wiki' - means in Hawaiian 'fast' ... and with regards to Wikipedia affords the opportunity to add, curate, co-write, and co-create an article like in an Encyclopedia 
'virtual world' refers to the many 3D virtual worlds that have emerged in gaming and similar over the past 3 decades from SimCity forward ... )


2a
and, for me, regarding also all of us co-creating a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs, and re my first large anthropological book -

3
And here's Ratna square Nyali Mombasa Kenya in Google Street View / Maps ... and maybe everyone in this session or class can add a new picture of this Square from their smartphones (if they have smartphones and get to Google Maps on them) 




3a
It's when all these iterating pictures are pieced together into one big seem-less iterating realistic virtual earth that we'll all be able to visit places and learn about them anywhere - and add further video for learning and teaching purposes + 



4
Would some of your students like to matriculate into MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch for free online WUaS Bachelor and AA degrees this autumn possibly, and beginning with this Scratch programming class "CS First with Google at World Univ & Sch" - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home ... and via Google Educator Groups in their regions, Fred and Vishal and All?

What is the Google Educator's Group for Ratna square Nyali Mombasa Kenya?


4a
And how could we all begin to code Google Maps and Google Earth and Google Street View with a time slider further with the Scratch programming language is an interesting question! :)

And here's one possibility for this - 
Design an Interactive Display or Map with Scratch - Coding Across the Curriculum 

Thanks for making this session on Google Maps and Google Earth happen - and see you Monday!

Thanks, Scott
