How Nova Scotia communities are expanding their online footprint using Geolocation

 

 

      Presentation Summary

 

  This presentation focuses on how to use GPS and Geolocation to further expand your online footprint. It is intended for community groups, associations, governments and businesses.

 

 From Google Earth to Geocoins, the Halifax Regional C@P Association and it's forty member sites lead by example.  From Terence Bay to Cole Harbour, Geolocation is putting our communities on the map - literally!  Learn how a rural community generates over 650 000 hits a year....

 

 

 Topics covered include Google Earth, Meta Tags, GPS Interoperability, Wikipedia, and the hardware needed. 

Also covered are popular online GPS initiatives from health promotion to community archives to wildly popular treasure hunting platforms.

 

 The presentation ends on a dialogue on the development and strategy behind the 2008 Halifax C@P Geocoin Promotion (seen on CTV Newsnet).

 

  This lecture was originally presented at the 2008 ICT Summit in Vancouver (Feb 2008). Since then it has been used in workshops and conferences around Nova Scotia and Halifax, including the RĂ©seau Acadien des Sites P@C, Nova Scotia C@P, and more.
