In this session we’ll give an overview of the different technologies in “the Google toolbox” and how Indigenous communities have been using Google mapping tools to map and tell stories about land and water.
This session will cover how to create quick and easy maps with My Maps, a simple tool for creating interactive and collaborative maps on the web. You’ll also learn how to continue working on your maps with your mobile device, both online and offline. You can choose to share your map with your field team only or to the public or even embed it on your website.
In this session we will use My Maps for community engagement. We will practice how to conduct an interview while adding locations and notes directly to a map, and how satellite imagery helps solicit and organize information during the interview. We will also learn how to use Google Forms to develop a survey that automatically populates a spreadsheet and can be visualized on a My Maps. These simple techniques will allow you to effectively communicate with your community about places that have meaning and importance to their lives.
This session will focus on creating data visualizations with My Maps, a simple tool for creating interactive web maps. You’ll learn how to import and style geographic data from spreadsheets in My Maps, and how to handle different types of map files that you download from the web including from GIS applications. You will style your map to give it the maximum impact.

Day 2: November 17th
In this session we’ll introduce you to Google Earth and cover the basics of how to create a simple 3D map with all the feature types - points, lines, and polygons - for mapping Indigenous knowledge and traditional land use. You’ll also learn how to add further detail to mapped sites using text and images. Finally, we’ll discuss methods of sharing your map with others.
In this session participants will learn how to bring different types of datasets into Google Earth Pro which will help in understanding your community and facilitating Direct to Digital interviews, such as historical maps, GIS shapefiles, and GPS data.
In this session we’ll focus on the methodology and best practices of mapping Indigenous knowledge and traditional land use with Google Earth using the Direct-to-Digital method. You’ll learn how to plan your interview, what questions you might ask, what equipment you’ll need to bring and more.
This session will share presentation & animation techniques to explore lands and maps in an engaging way. You will learn how to use Google Earth Pro to build virtual flyovers and tours to guide your audience through the landscape you’re discussing. We’ll also look at Google Earth Studio as an alternative video animation tool to Google Earth Pro.

Timelapse builds on Earth Engine to show three decades of planetary change, both man-made and natural. In this session, you'll be able to explore changes in areas you care about, use the animations in presentations, learn how to embed Timelapse into websites. We’ll review other useful datasets built through Earth Engine, such as global forest change, global water loss and gain and the new https://earthmap.org/.
This session will cover how to tell engaging map-based stories about places of cultural and environmental importance that you can easily share online. Then we'll share techniques for presenting in a 3D landscape, including building virtual tours to guide your listeners through the landscape you’re discussing, whether your audience is your community, school children, or an official meeting.
