DESCRIPTION
Gerry and I put together this quick presentation on geolocation, geotagging and photography. This is one of the topics that we are excited about at the LFS Learning Centre this fall (Sep 2008). The K-12 Educators in the audience loudly told us that for this to work - it has to have a straightforward workflow.
