Tech Task 11

So for the geography teachers out there, I would like to share with you some ESRI products. ESRI products such as Arcmap is bought by the province and you can install this software on the computer. There is a mobile app for this but really it is just a fancy Google Map and I wouldn't suggest it unless you are using the software. Another ESRI product is the story map and this is where any classroom can use this map and it is pretty cool. So you need to have your GPS on for this application to work. This story map will reference the pictures you take from your for using the GPS coordinates and then you can type stuff behind the pictures. There is a teacher using this in her English class and getting the kids to tell a story. This can also be used to take before and after pictures and make a story.

Another cool app is Microsoft Photosynth, I used this in my practicum and it creates a 3-d model from still images. So you can take millions of pictures around a certain object and put the images into Photosynth and create a 3-d model.
