Finding your way to Trepassey : A Google Map Workshop

On February 1st, 2011 at 1pm, Dale Jarvis and Mel Squarey with the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador are hosting a two hour workshop at the Opportunities Complex, on how community groups can use Google Maps to help share local folklore and oral history.
If you’ve looked for directions online, chances are you’ve come across Google Maps. Google’s “My Maps” function is a free online tool where local points of interest can be showcased in an accessible manner. We’ll show you how you can create your own map of your town or region that highlights photos, video, and audio clips about local heritage and culture.
 Participants of the workshop are invited to bring along their own wi-fi enabled laptop.

Date: Tuesday, February 1st, 2011
Time: 1pm – 3pm
Workshop fee: $15
