My Map

Reflection

1. Was I able to identify how geography impacts the town / city with ease? How was I able to find how the physical geography impacted these areas?

Yes, I was easily able to find how geography impacted the town I chose to research. I was able to find how physical geography impacts the areas in Osoyoos as I recently travelled there with my family. During the trip I took pictures and learned a lot about the town’s characteristics, which made it easier to do this project.

2. How did the technology personally affect my learning? What were the pros and cons of using maphub.com? Be detailed in your response here.

Technology made it easy for me to learn about geography, how the economy works, and different ways to show my learning. While using maphub.com, I was easily able to create and explain the different places in the town I chose. A pro when using maphub.com is the variety of colours and symbols for the markers as it makes it easy to identify each place. Another pro is that there isn’t a limit to how long your description is for a marker. In addition, maphub.com makes it easy to find any location/area in Canada or anywhere in the world as you just have to search it up in the search tab and it will pop up. A con would be that you have to save your map every single time you leave the website. This might sound obvious but it was a bit frustrating as I am use to my work being saved automatically if I press the save button once.

3. Were you satisfied with the result of your design and solutions?

Yes, I am happy with how my map turned out and what I learned from this project.

4. How would you refine your assignment in the future?

In the future, I would probably shorten my discriptions so it just says the main points and isn’t so long to read. Another thing I would change would be how I explain the development areas and how they would affect the community.
