What’s the Word Around Town

Reflection

During this project I was able to identify the geographical features of the City of Penticton, located in the Okanagan valley. It was easy for me to find and apply these geographical features to different economic activities that occur.

I am very thankful that I am able to use computers to do projects like these because with the internet, I can find a variety of answers of all the questions I have instantaneously. Maphub.net was a fairly easy program to use. It is a great program for directions or mapping hiking trails, and in this case, a geography project. It had the right accommodations for this project; such as markers, picture options, different colours and different map styles. The only problem I ran into was that there was no auto-save function. My computer ran out of battery and I had forgotten to save, so my project was deleted and I had to restart. I think that this program would be greatly improved with an auto-save function.

I am happy with the final design of my project. If I were to do this project again in the future, I would like to go into further detail and expand on these already existing ideas.
