For my second assignment, I decided to do the Google History Maps Web Assignment. Here I’ve created a rough map of the path of Alexander the Great using Google Maps’ MyMaps tool. The MyMaps tool doesn’t give an HTML code or a file to embed, so I’ve included the following link and a screenshot: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WhFuQvcJIa5lWYwQQDtGPQKk5YE&usp=sharing My first thought when reading the assignment description (to recreate the travels of a literary or historical character using this tool) was to do Alexander the Great. Very few historical figures before the modern era had travelled as far as Alexander. In fact, he marched ...
Ibn Battuta + Google Maps

This web assignment is Google History Maps Story, and I chose Abu Abdullah Mohammad Ibn Battuta, more commonly referred to as simply Mohammad Ibn Battuta or just Ibn Battuta. (Fun fact: ibn means “son” in Arabic, so “ibn Battuta” means “son of Battuta”; this is my three years of Arabic at work, folks!) It was a mistake. I knew this guy was well-traveled, but YIKES. I clicked on the Wiki page and almost cried. SO. In order to not go insane by spending 5 hours making google maps of this man (did you know that there’s only so many places you ...

When searching for assignments together, Brianne Comden and I came across the “Google History Maps Story”, which we thought would be perfect for our characters, as they were connected in our radio show as grandmother and granddaughter. We also thought it would be great to collaboratively work on this assignment because it would allow our … Continue reading You Follow the Map…It Knows the Way!

For this assignment you had to use Google Maps to create a story and for this I not only used Kendall Parker’s character to work with I also worked on this assignment with Kendall. We did our story basing the backgrounds of both of our characters and it made it pretty easy since our characters are related and that we used them in our radio show. The plot to this story map we made was that my character( Margaret) is dead and her granddaughter( Julia) is going to visit her grave but really she is going as a cover up for ...

This assignment is worth 3 stars. This was the hardest part yet. It took me quite some time to figure out how to get Google Maps to create lines from different places. First Click My maps. Located next to the search bar. Then Click the New map button Then click the draw line button. Once […]
Jason Bourne History Maps Story

Link to Google Maps Page For this assignment, I made a bit of a stretch in terms of a literary figure but I thought it would be a cool idea to do a history map on Jason Bourne from the book/movie series. It’s well known that the storyline involves plenty of globe trotting so it fit perfectly with what I was trying to convey. In particular, I chose the final part of the trilogy called Bourne Ultimatum where he makes his way through Europe and eventually ends the storyline in New York. Making Of: The completion of this assignment wasn’t ...
Whagon Wheel Route

One of the web assignments I decided to do was the Google Maps Story for three stars.The basic premise of the assignment was to, “Use Google Maps to tell a story of historical or literary figure”. I did not follow the prompt exactly, and rather than tell the story of a historical or literary figure, I chose to tell the story told by Old Crow Medicine Show with their song “Whagon Wheel”. You can view the lyrics here, but the song tells the story of a man fleeing the cold “up in New England” and heading towards his lady in ...

My story through Google Maps

The purpose of this web assignment was to use Google Maps to tell a story of historical or literary figure. this was a 3 star assignment as well . For this reason I chose to talk about two significant places of Afghanistan Bamiyan and Ghur. I used Wikipedia to get historical information about both Bamiyan valley and Ghur province. I then used Google maps to manipulate the significance of those places. I really enjoyed creating this assignment and I found Google Maps very easy to use. Bamiyan valley which is one of the ancient provinces of Afghanistan was a Buddhist religious site ...
