Geolocation is the identification of the real-world geographic location of an object such as a radar, mobile phone, or computer. It can refer to assessing a location or the assessed location itself. Geolocation can be beneficial for education by bringing up maps and sites to teach about other countries, and allowing students to check in from locations on field trips for accountability. It also enables mobile learners to access context-aware information about historical sites and locations.
Geocaching: A Cross Curricular Adventure
These are the slides that accompany my presentation at PETE&C 2010. (Basic description of geocaching followed by a cross curricular sample lesson.
A Tour of Google Earth
This document provides a tour of features available in Google Earth including viewing the earth, checking weather and traffic, zooming in for more details, taking 3D tours, finding locations like restaurants and shipwrecks, learning about places, and creating your own tours.

Google Map Is Not The Map
Information is more than ever geolocated, but who decides what we see on maps? who curates that information? Maps have never been neutral, but now they are ubiquitous.
This session will be a hands on workshop to enter the maps world and understand how communities can produce and edit their own maps (with openstreetmap.org) and edit and curate information above them (meipi.org).
The workshop will explore ways to integrate critical maps created in other platforms and websites.
Description
Have you ever wanted to make your own map but you didn't know how? Do you want to use your GPS/smart phone? People usually approach maps as inert things, as invariable objects. Now, it's easy to make your own maps and meanwhile understand that maps are not neutral, that Google Maps is not The Map, but just another map. GPS devices and smart phones, DIY aerial cartography (the Public Laboratory), OpenStreetMap map making, are making easier building maps and sharing them. BYO laptop, smartphone or GPS, but if you don't have one, come anyway. Maps can be drawn with a pencil.

How to Get Benefit from Google Maps
Mr. Chamnan will be speaking about How to Benefit from Google Maps. Google Maps is a map service that you view in desktop and mobile web application. Depending on your location, you can view basic or custom maps and local business information, including business locations, contact information, and driving directions. According to Google, 97 percent of customers shop for local businesses online, and in the world of apps, Google Maps is a heavy hitter. It’s the most popular smartphone app out there, with over 54 percent of smartphone users who use apps using it to get where they need to go. If you have a physical retail location you can’t afford to ignore this easy and free way to – literally and figuratively – get your business on the map. When your business is listed, you help your customers find you through different Google channels such as Maps, Search and Google+ and drive more traffic to your business. How it benefits to personal, business and social!
