Are you ready for summer school? Normally the answer to that question would be a resounding no, but this is one time you might be glad to make an exception. Starting June 10th, Google is offering a free online two-week course that will not only be fun, but also help you improve your Google Maps and Google Earth skills.
The ‘Mapping with Google’ course will focus on three products: Google Maps, Maps Engine Lite, and Google Earth. You will also gain access to the new version of Google Maps if you have not received it through ‘invitation sign-up’ yet.
From the Google Lat-Long Blog post: Mapping with Google will be offered from June 10 – June 24. It is a self-paced, online course where you will watch videos (or read text lessons) and apply the skills you learn.
During this course, you will be able to collaborate with a worldwide community of learners and experts in the class forum, Hangouts, and via Google+.
Here is Google’s official video about the new online course…
