Keeping us in Relativity.


Here we look around and see we are in the bigger scheme of county and provincial location.The zoom in, zoom out utility is important for this type of task.


Macro GOOGLED.


Once again we capture, manipulate, analyse, form opinions, debate, edit, decide, finalise and present in GOOGLE.

Macro Capture.



This is a bigger undertaking. Can you point out the 3 Rivers. Itemise the icons and study the Road Numbers. Within The National Roadwork network what is the status of the roads in the capture and manipulation? Name two major towns.


Working with Bigger Inputs.


We are using a more extensive profile here. Based on the earlier profile investigate and document a data analysis on this profile.




Speed, Time and Distance.



Here we delve into the quite abstract concepts of Speed,Time and Distance. Using our dataset and obscuring one of the three elements we can work out any problem in this mathematical scenario and see through investigation how formulae are arrived at. Of course we are working, in many cases here with decimal numbers and this adds a certain rigour to our problem solving.

DISTANCE = TIME X SPEED per HOUR.

TIME = DISTANCE / SPEED per HOUR.

SPEED = DISTANCE / TIME.

Base of 60 for TIME
Bases of 10,100,1000 for DISTANCE.

We also introduce and use calculators/handhelds for these complex calculations.

Knockatoon GOOGLED




Here we embed the captured and manipulated data in Google Maps adding more enhancement the personalised output.

Is this an urban or rural setting/ Give your reasons.
The Road to Knockatoon.


This is Eoin's Journey home. Here he is making strong usage of the icons and this is adding to his map. Using his home as a benchmark work out his neighbours' locations North of The Feale and South of The Feale. Also who lives N. S, W, E of Eoin?/
