This is very interesting. A number of follow-up activities/questions
occur to me:
1. *What else can be done with this tool? *There is tremendous
potential for using interactive maps across a wide range of
disciplines. For a sample, see
http://elearnmag.org/subpage.cfm?section=tutorials&article=22-1.
I'd like to know what teachers in Sakai-participating institutions
are doing with Google maps and derivative applications, and how a
Sakai-integrated map tool like this one could further facilitate
diffusion of these teaching techniques.
2. *What would need to be done to make this tool work as a
teacher-installable remotely hosted service? *Since individual
teachers in many institutions are not empowered to get their IT
support staff to install new tools, I would like to see something
like this available as something like a Google Gadget that
wouldn't require the intervention of an IT person to install. I
don't have any idea what would be involved technically, but given
the relatively low overhead of this sort of application, it might
be an interesting test case for the Sakai community.
3. *What can be abstracted out into a Google/Sakai integration
toolkit? *Google has lots of different tools and services that
people may want to integrate with Sakai. It would be great to see
a general toolkit that addresses the Google APIs that would be
used across multiple Google tools.
