Google Maps

After creating a "tour," I liked being able to add a link and picture to the description in order to direct people to the location and website. I could see myself using this tool in my class as a project for my students. A possibility in using this would include my students creating a tour of where people migrated after leaving Europe and Africa over to North and South America. They could put interesting facts along with the webpage to where some useful information might be about the indigenous groups migrating to the West.

Another idea of using the Google Maps would include students creating a document of where their family tree comes from and their own heritage. This way, as a teacher I would get a better since of students' backgrounds and who they are. This is important in getting my students to be engaged with material that applies towards their every day lives.
