I would first like to acknowledge everything I put on here as only a link or an idea to a resource in the view that it should be used for open and collaborative purposes. Therefore, I you see anything on here that may be the intellectual property of yours or others, I apologise and please let me know and I will remove it.
So for many purposes what I put on may only be a link to a site which I have found useful.....
After sitting in on Mick Law's presentation (from Countour Education), I thought about ways I could use google maps in a practical sense... also, I wanted to demonstrate how easy these maps are to manipulate to other non-geographers (such as my home ec colleagues) to introduce them to mapping and it's possible uses in the classroom. So, to demonstrate this I thought it would be a good idea, and a collaborative approach to set an open google map up (free for anyone to change, on the same view as wikipedia) and allow graduating students from QUT (to begin with- it doesn't have to be just QUT) to map their location after graduation.

I feel that if this map can be open, many 'new teachers' will be able to gain a spatial awareness of the networks around them and have the ability to contact those closest to them for support etc.
Lets hope it works
