S.Fjalar :: Blog :: Artwork Earth

Lately I've been using the amazing Google Earth with my special ed class and together we have created some interesting artwork using closeups of our planet earth.

I presented my students with the following assignment:

1. Dive into Google Earth, explore and find an artisticly interesting, or graphically creative places. Choose two images and save them.

2. Create a background, a frame and a title using the Motivator from Flickr toys.

3. Upload the artwork to your Flickr account.

4. Share the artwork on the Artwork Earth group in flickr (created for this assignment)

I must say I'm very pleased with the results and the assignment proved to be a lot of fun as well.

The assignment is a small part of an ICT course I'm developing at a local college. I'm concentraiting on open source tools and freely available software and services on the Net. Google Earth is of course an ideal tool. I'm using Moodle as our LMS and it's been a very interesting challenge using it with my students.

The Artwork Earth group is open for everyone who wants to join us.
