Web 2.0 tool
- 1. Nick Scott 10/30/12 Section 002 My web 2.0 tool is quikmaps. Quikmaps can be very helpful to you if you are in school because you can use this tool to show where things go on maps. For example if you need to make a map for history about Christopher Columbus you could draw lines from Spain to the United States to show where he all traveled. 1. By the end of class you will be able to: draw lines from one place to another on a map. 2. Put about 5 lines and markers on your map. Getting to quikmaps 1. First you will have to open up a new tab. 2. Next you will type in web 2.0 tools in your address bar. 3. After that you would scroll down to where it says cool tools for schools and click on that. 4. Then you go to mapping tools on the left then click on it and quikmaps will be the second one on your left. Making lines and markers on your map First you will click on draw a map or create an account if you want. Next you will find the spot on your map that you need to draw lines or make certain markers on your map. So if you would need to draw a line from Wisconsin to Illinois this is what you would do… you would click on scribble. When you click on scribble it will show up with Color and Width of your line. Then you can pick the color and width of your line that you want. The color is shown as a number but you could just type a color that you want.
- 2. Nick Scott 10/30/12 Section 002 After you are done picking your color and width of your line you can start drawing lines that you need to draw. Making markers on your map 1. The first step to making a marker on your map is really easy you first click any marker that you want to put on your map. 2. After that you just click on your map wherever you need to put that marker. This is what your map will look like after you are done following these steps. I would like to thank http://quikmaps.com/ for my screenshots that I used in this project. This web 2.0 tool can be used for school in a few ways like this; you could use this if you need to make a map for social studies, or if you need to give directions for an assignment.
