Google Earth: Cross Border Collaboration


The idea of our google earth project is to make it look like we traded spaces with each other. We are going to use photoshop to fit each other into the other's landmarks, such as showing us going to the airports and switch each other into other's airport.  From that, we will think how people can easily change the truth by using these softwares, and pointing out that the google earth is nothing more than a media.



- Overall - what worked/what was a challenge
Everything worked out very well and our schedules were all pretty flexible so the communication was very successful. We used the idea from Vancouver group, which we were agreed all with and thought the idea was interesting. The challenge was probably the lack of Photoshop knowledge. I had to do some researches and played around with the Photoshop to get the effects I want.
- how your group managed the "cross-border logistics" of communication, exchange of ideas, coming up with an idea, coordinating project parts?
We used skype and exchanged emails.
- Suggestions on how to address some of the challenges and ways to strengthen the collaboration
The limitation of times sort of holding us back from making it more elaborate.
- What you gained?
I became more comfortable to work with others as a group, also gained more geographical knowledge of the city of Vancouver.
-If you were to do it again, what would you do differently
I would probably suggest some ideas that we can all have a chance to work together; because what we did this time was to assign different tasks to each other and combined them after we finish them separately.
