GA 2015 Digital Earth Workshop
This document summarizes a workshop on Digital Earth hosted by the European Association of Geographers. The workshop aimed to introduce Digital Earth concepts and latest developments, and explore how these ideas could be applied in classrooms. It provided examples of interactive maps, mobile apps, and visualization tools related to Digital Earth. It also discussed future directions for Digital Earth, such as big data analytics, gamification, smart cities/sensors, and citizens as producers of geospatial data. Attendees were encouraged to consider new opportunities for innovative learning with these emerging Digital Earth technologies and applications.

Editor's Notes
- #20 CSPs have more data about behavior, calling habits, content consumption, keywords used in every day communication, location, traveling destinations, validated personal profile, financial value and “REAL” social network (business and personal). The insight is at the fingertips of CSPs but not fully utilized. The data is already there in ways such as call detail records (CDR's) and usage detail records (UDR's), in network elements and CRM and billing systems.
