Difficult today with the computer. The computer is working so slow but I realize how important it is for me to learn to maneuver around Google Maps. I love the idea of making my own maps. It would be wonderful to go and take pictures of areas around the school, download the pictures, have the students design a route from their home to school and put the pictures in the map to help the students identify the areas. Students can compare the time between walking, driving, and biking. (even make graphs) When planning a field trip - the teacher can go to the site ahead of time, take pictures, make a map of the area and have the students plan the route to the location. I am sure there are all kinds of math activities that can be done.
I like the idea of mapping a story in Google Lit Trips. There are some picture books that I believe would work. I will have to explore this further.
Everyday learning a little bit more.
