Already I’m seeing some great products of the Rip.Mix.Feed activity. For mine, I thought I would use a more unexpected tool – Google Maps – in order to create a visual representation. Using the information that was stored in the “Introduction” category of our Community Weblog, I compiled information about where all members of this class (both sections) live and/or work and plotted the names on a Google map. I apologize that some of you are missing – I couldn’t find your information in your introductory post. While this is a simple representation, I think it fits within the overall spirit of the program by showing how the logistics of time and space clearly do not impede on our ability to learn together. Enjoy – the map is public so feel free to make an additions/corrections!

Oh Rachel, that is the best idea!! How fun! I just spent 10 minutes trying to find everyone. I didn’t find Dilip though. I think he’s supposed to be in Oaxaca Mexico too.
I hope we will be encouraged to keep in touch after this course is done as a result of seeing how close we really are. Only a world away, eh?

Great idea Rachel!
How do I add myself? thanks for your help, and great idea
I was like a kid in the candy store – do I zoom in or out first??? Very exciting and great work Rachel!
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I love Google Maps! Kathleen – I just set the map profile to “open collaboration” so you should be able to click on the link and press “edit” and then add yourself.
Great map Rachel!
Hi Rachel, what a great idea. I have much more feel for our little virtual community. (and I am there on the map too!)
What an original idea! Thanks Rachel!
