Olga Google Maps
Here is the information regarding the google.maps project I was working for a German presentation. I basically created a presentation-tour for Cologne and a short presentation for it. It was a great possibility to talk about several interesting places to visit in this city and was great for learning.
Here's what you need to do to create a presentation in google maps:
Login to your google account, and chose "maps" menu on the top, then go to Help menu in the upper right corner. Then go to Learn More ->My Maps -> What is my maps and how do I use it. When you do it, it should lead you to a tutorial video, which is really comprehensive.
For this specific project I searched for interesting places to visit in Cologne, and then opened Google Maps, chose the tab My maps, created a new map and used the tools in the upper left corner of the map to locate these places and denote directions from one place to another. When you are working on creating the map, you will see "More..." menu in the upper left corner of the map, you can use it to see photos, youtube items and wikipedia articles relevant to this place.
Generally, the whole process is not difficult, it just takes some time to familiarize with the tools necessary to build the map.
