I created a Google Map based on the Odyssey intended to use in future classes in school. I would like to use this activity again for other books as well. I am thinking along the lines of Mark Twain, or Jane Austen. I am a visual person so something like this could be very useful in class and something fun for students to create themselves.

For my third ds106 assignment I decided to do the web assignment section called “Google Maps Story” I decided to do this assignment to introduce korea more and also talk about korean army as well.
This is the area where i served about 50% of my military service in. I was in the DMZ called GOP (General Outpost). There isn’t many people you get to see here and the place is very quiet. We are far away from the city and the only building is the building we live in which consist of about 35 people. In the Korean Army you dont’ get many vacations but the ones you do are golden and are very memorable.
This is my home. If people have ever been to seoul they will know about gangnam. I live around 20-30 minutes away from there. I’ve lived here for about 7 years and have many memories of the place.
Well when i was out i decided to go to the beach. We drove here at midnight and we ate shellfish and clams with a little bit of alchohol and afterwards i went into the ocean because of the alcohol..
Still these memories will stay with me forever. I hope these pictures interested you and if you have any questions about korea come and ask me!
This is the assignment taken from Web assignment.
Instruction says: “Use Google Maps to tell a story! It can be the story of a trip you took, a trip you would like to take, a strange occurrence, a war, anything you like! The only rules are that you have to use Google Maps proper in order to tell your story, and post it here. For a much fancier version that predates mine, see: http://www.wetellstories.co.uk/stories/week1/”
ok, I would like to introduce around ‘Minatomirai(??????)’?area as a Google Maps Story.
I live in Yokohama and Minatomirai locates close to my house, so I walk around there when I have a free time .
You can see 3 red points in this picture. I am going to show pictures which was taken around this points.
point 1
there is a ‘Onsen(Japanese bath)’ at point 1, this is one of my favorite place because you can see Ferris wheel from bath room.?here is the wed site.
This is really cool.
Point 2
There is a shopping mole, ‘TOC???????‘ at point 2. this building has been built in 2010.
And 6F and 7F are the area of restaurants and a view from restaurants is beautiful.
Point 3
There is a another shopping mole, called YOKOHAMA”WORLD PORTERS” before TOC has been built, I used to go there.
reason why I have chosen this assignment is as I mentioned, Minatomirai is my neighborhood, so I hope you will be interested in Minatomirai area!!
by the way, I did not know how to do Print Screen.
I am using Google Chrome and finally I found out ‘awesome screen shot’ (Web site.) this is available for firefox and safari too.
so, I used this. This is really easy to do screen caption.
