Activities

1. Choose at least 8 important locations in your geography - such as where you were born, where was you first school, where do you live?
2. You need to produce a Placemark on Google Earth for each of these important locations.
3. You can add images to your Placemarks using the html in the box below. If you want to use your own image you will need to have it hosted on the web.
4. Once you have designed all you Placemarks you need to place them in a Google Earth folder called "my_geography_yourname" in the correct chronological order.

Review

How about combining all the overlays together to make one mega overlay for the class? You could ask students from other year groups and staff from other departments to submit their important places to be added to the overlay project.

Be careful when adding the locations of people's houses!
