Google Earth (developed by Keyhole, Inc. as “Earth Viewer,” acquired by Google in 2004, and released as “Google Earth” in 2005): Google Earth superimposes images of the earth to generate a map of the earth. For this project, the free version was used. More information about Google Earth and its features can be found here: Google Earth. We also used a Google Earth Tutorial, which provided us with a template spreadsheet for creating KML files.
Google Docs (developed by Google): Google Docs is a web-based application that provides word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation functions. Users can create and edit documents in an online environment, either alone or collaboratively with others. For this project, we used the spreadsheets application.
Microsoft Excel (developed by Microsoft): Excel is a well-known spreadsheet software, packaged as part of Microsoft Office. Since each student team member had a different version of the software, we interchangeably used Excel 2003 and 2007 for PCs and Excel 2008 for Macs.
Windows Movie Maker (developed by Microsoft): Movie Maker is a basic video creating/editing software bundled in recent releases of Microsoft Windows.
