Google Map

Google map for virtual pen pals

Google maps offer street maps, a route planner for traveling by foot, car, bike (beta), or with public transportation and a locator for urban businesses in numerous countries around the world. This is a useful technology tool to implement within any classroom. We are going to conduct a mini-lesson about how useful Google maps can be in every day life. Next, we will have a class discussion about how we are going to use a Google map to chose a place in the United States to communicate with other students with similar age, grade level, and interests to compare culture, local history, government, and geography.
