Creating Interactive Maps • Thursday, Nov. 6, 10 a.m.-Noon, SGMN0119
Facilitator: Barry Lamb, director of instructional technology services

Google Mapping Tools can be used for much more than looking up driving directions. This workshop will demonstrate how to use Google Tour Builder to create instructional virtual tours, which can be anything from mapping historical events to charting the important places on a fictional literary character’s journey, and more. Participants will be given the hands-on opportunity to learn how to create and share their own tour.
