= Welcome to the Getting to Know You Project! =

==This project is for K-12 and post-secondary students. It involves collecting images about significant events in your life and graphically visualizing them in Google Earth. The project is currently under construction.==

==Students will create a layer in Google Earth about significant events in their life. This project will be used in Technology in the Modern World to to help students understand how graphic visualization tools, such as Google Earth can be used to compile and visualize data.==

==Students should include a placemark for where they were born and where they live now, plus at least 5 other significant events in their lives. These events might include birthdates, prom, family reunions, or memorable vacations. Students should focus on how these events influenced who you are today.==

** Alumni Project Idea **
==I collect layers from each class and compile them into a composite layer that I then keep and show to the next class. In this way we are creating a history of our students and events in their lives that they want to share with their classmates. Graduates can email me or the school alumin office, to get a copy of the composite layer. Requests for the layer are verified through the alumni office.==
