3. Google My Maps: Nanaimo Historical Tour:
WOW! We did it! Our class has been studying the history of Nanaimo. We decided to find out who famous landmarks were named after. After researching people and places we went on a field trip and visited the landmarks. All students took pictures and videos. Back at school, our teacher created a google my map. We then made movies, did voice overs and embedded the movies into our my map. When you click on a balloon (on our map), our movies and voices will explain about the person behind the landmark. Enjoy!
To access full view and the movies, you must click here: "View Nanaimo Historical Landmarks in a larger map ". On the larger map, it is easier getting to a specific location by clicking on a title in the side key. You can even use google maps to go to street level and visit the sites. ALL SOUND PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED! |
