Week 7: Mash-up !



  Our final lab before our mid-term college break !
 
    The yellow stars  and the blue and orange balloons represent the Oak trees and the blue people represent the Sacred trees.
 
  Here is a mash-up i created by following instructions in my lab this morning ! I had to enter some spreadsheet data from excel that was given to me which contained information about Oak and Sacred trees in Ireland. I edited and fixed the information so it would be complete and appear correctly on the map. It was difficult at first but the instructions were very clear and easy to follow.

  I embedded the map from the map making site on Google. It was interesting to see how you can edit and combine information with a map and how useful this skill is to have. You could really narrow each marker on the map down to such detailed information such as height and give it a correct symbol so people will know what it's for or to make the map more appealing to the eye of the user. It's a great system.
