Map Builder: A collaborative mapping tool

Here's an example of a project that I started with students, and never finished last semester: \"MyMaps 

Map Builder is a tool worth our consideration. I've set up another collaborative map about vacations. You need to be registered at Map Builder, then I can add your username into the list of users for that map.  So please register, and list your username in the discussion below.

Problem is I don't see how to make journies easily on this mashup.

Thanks!  Also I really like the 43 Places possibilities.

  3. My username on MapBuilder is ccsloanj.  I like the fact that the media plays when the window opens in MapBuilder (like the students reciting the poetry while the text of the poem shows).  I put links in Quikmaps, but can Quikmaps also play audio as the window opens?

  8. Mapbuilder takes a bit of getting used to, but I think it is the most open to adding multimedia in a collaborative way. The few things that you have to get "right" could be explained. It takes some getting used to, but I don't find it all that difficult to use, once you learn a couple of it's secrets. I'll try to make a list of these later today.

  9. Looking forward to learning how to add multimedia to map builder. I am preparing my kids for the NZ trip and would like them to use the mapping system to post their own pics and comments so other kids can react to it.

  10. Ok..opened a map at Mapbuilder and named it :FLNW( Future of Learning in a Networked World), which is the theme of our open conference in NZ. If we decide to use MapBuilder.. it is ready :-)
