Virtual Pen Pals Map
This map of Michigan displays information in regards to the cities of Kalamazoo and Marquette. The map includes a typical driving route from Kalamazoo to Marquette, as well as a map and satellite image of each city, and images connected with the individual cities. The map shows the terrain of the area. By clicking on either location's pin point (Marquette's green pin point and Kalamazoo's gold pin point), a side section will appear on the left side of the screen, presenting the map and satellite images and photos. The images can be accessed by scrolling to the bottom of the side section and clicking on the image on the bottom, which indicates the number of photos connected to the city.

I am able to see the map and click on the cities. However, when the side section appears, I am only able to see the name of the city!
ReplyDeleteIf you scroll down the photos section appears on the bottom. I'll see what I can do about that. If I can't fix that what do you think about just putting the direction to scroll down in the description.
DeleteFor some reason, I'm not even given the ability scroll when I click on either of the cities.
DeleteThat's odd. I am able to scroll
DeleteI had to click a few different places on the side section, but I am now able to scroll and see pictures! Not sure what was going on!
DeleteAmanda, have you gotten a chance to look over the Google doc yet?
ReplyDeleteNope! I'll do it right now!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can see is there is a time frame for organizing the collected info, and for the presentations, but I didn't see a time frame for the info collection itself. But then again, I may have missed it too. But overall I think it sounds great!!
ReplyDeleteI was uncertain if we needed to add this or not since that would occur before this assignment took place
DeleteWe could mention that students had been researching for x amount of days prior to first communicating with their ePals even though technically it is occurring before this assignment.
DeleteYeah, that makes sense.
DeleteThat sounds good to me. Better to be safe than sorry
DeleteI like that idea Bethany. I think it would be good to add how long they spent before the project collecting information.
DeleteI'll see if I can fix the photo portion of the map. Other than that, what are your thoughts,on the map? Is there anything that needs revising, or anything that we would like to add or delete? Anything that needs revising visually? If it's not what was envisioned I can look for another way to make the map.
ReplyDeleteWhen I click on the map and wasn't able to see photos, I had to click the icon on the top left and click on the city's name in list of layers. I was then able to see the pictures after doing this for both cities. I think the map looks great! Thanks for putting it together! :)
DeleteNo Problem! I'll see if that can be changed.
DeleteI couldn't change the scrolling part, but I did revise the description.
ReplyDeleteI just hopped onto the blog and where the map should be, I see my WMU login page. Does anyone else have this issue?
ReplyDeleteI don't seem to have any issues with it on my computer. On my phone it is slow to show up. I closed everything out and logged everything back in to see if anything had changed, but it still came up for me.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, it isn't working for me either. Could you try to recreate the map and re-embed it somehow?
DeleteI am unable to see anything. I had my friend get on our blog and she couldn't see anything either.
ReplyDeleteI updated the map and embedded the link from the map that I made. Hopefully everyone is able to view it now. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't see it now.
ReplyDeleteI can see it now, my Microsoft edge will view it but firefox won't.
ReplyDeleteThis is all too weird. I'm glad you figured out a way to see it. Just emailed you with my phone number in case something happens like this again!
