Every year, I have my Sports Marketing students pick the college bowl games for extra credit. In the past, I've given them a sheet of paper with the bowl games listed, and they have circled the answer. With my sick day, I thought I'd try something cool...
My intent was to use Google Earth to plan a trip from the first bowl to the last one, 35 in all. I've seen Google Earth used on TV to show various locales, and I thought it'd be relatively simple to show a trip from Point A to Point B to Point C. Oops.
After 2+ hours, I had to give up. I never could get Google Earth to do exactly what I wanted to do. I'm sure there's a way to do it, but I probably should pay attention to those tweets I get with tips and tricks. Maybe next time...
At any rate, it's a good lesson to pass on to my students about the frustrations of technology and how to work through them.
