The first contemporary media issues of semester two we were introduced to the module, once we had gone through the module handbook we then placed into groups and given a place in Liverpool. The group that I was in got Otterspool Park and Prom, we came up with a story about Steven Gerrard the story reflected on his life. The story was from when he was little up to present, we used Google maps to present our story we used images and videos along with some text. Over the next lecture we spent time creating the story. In our latest lecture we presented our story to the rest of the group and our tutors, after we presented in front of the class we received some feedback; the group and tutors said that they thought it was a good idea, because the audience can see the places as well as reading information about the place, they didn’t have to imagine the place and also it made the story more personal to the audience.
I think using Google maps is a great way to show and tell a story because it brings the reader more closely to the audience reading and looking at the map. I think our story was a good example of using Google maps to tell someone’s story.
