Wanna take my trip on Google?

I’m frequently late to the game when it comes to technology.

Google Earth Voyager was launched in 2017 as an educational and general wanderlusty tool. You can take a little journey through a specific place, time, issue, or culture by zooming around on Google Earth. Photos, videos, interactives, articles, and 3-D street view accompany this trip. The other cool thing is that you can make your very own! This has obvious applications in the classroom, but you can see where I am going with this.

Yes, I made a Google Earth Voyage for The Sea & She! You can zoom around to each of the places I visited, click through my photos, information for each of them, and I placed links to this blog as well (my web tech-ing is eating its own tail). It was fairly easy to do, especially if you are familiar with the Google suite. Though a good presentation tool that I intend to use at my school (The Cambridge School of Weston) to showcase my trip, it is a bit clunky for viewers to experience. Hence, I’ll talk you through some of it.

FIRST! You’ll want to click on the “Table of Contents” on the lower left. Then, to visit each location, double-click on it. It will “zoom” to that location.

See the Table of Contents on the lower left from which to select the different locations.

Then, you can click on the markers on the map itself, and the panel on the right will have photos and information for that marker. You can click on the arrow to see each photo.

The panel on the right takes you through the photos and descriptions of each different location marker on the map.

Maybe this will be fun and interesting! Maybe it will be annoying and difficult to navigate. I hope it proves to be the former.

Enjoy!
