MIGoogle: Map of Ideas with Google

Abstract

This work aims to address the incorporation of freely accessed technologies in the classroom and show the use of geospatial information through teachers’ works, in elementary and secondary schools, which set up activities with Google Earth and Google Maps. From a collection of ideas proposed by teachers, an interactive map showing the spatial distribution of these ideas was developed, which can be disseminated. Other ideas can also be incorporated into the map, which is participatory so that ideas can be exchanged and new ideas can arise and be included in MIGoogle (map of ideas with the use of Google Earth and Google Maps tools). MIGoogle is part of the RIsO (Solidarity Information Network for Rio de Janeiro) Project, which incorporates other interactive maps (Route for Education, Animal Health, Selective Trash Collection and Conservation Unit) with access at the Educational Portal GEODEN (Digital Geotechnologies in Education) or at https://sites.google.com/site/risouff.
