Exploring Ohio Using Interactive Geographic Applications
Learn to use online resources that view the world and your local community using aerial photos, maps and historic/scientific/geologic overlays. The most interactive, Google Earth, allows users to share descriptive placemarks, create trips, measure, add overlays and place 3D objects. Emphasis will be placed on how to create and use image overlays to teach historical and scientific objectives.

Learn to use free online resources that view the world using aerial photos, maps and overlays. The most interactive of these free resources, Google Earth, allows users to share descriptive placemarks, create trips, measure distances, add overlays and place 3-D objects.
