I can use this when I go trail running to map routes and not get lost.

Also, to let people know how much fun I’m having at Rock Star Camp!

Fairy Tales & Fables-Plot the points of the countries of where the different versions of the stories. For example, we did different versions of Cinderella's from around the world

@MrsDanielleRojo

You could plot major cities of a country you are studying. In the pins place videos and photos about different countries. Then allow them to explore the country before you begin to teach about it.

I will use this in the future for a Biomes Project and/or Ecosystem Project.

I teach independent living skills so I will use this to map different locations in our community.

I didn’t attend your session, but wish I did!  I just created a “tour of Egypt” to start my Ancient Egypt unit.  Thank you for the resources!

Students can collaborate on the SAME map - they can create their own layer and add pictures/videos - the teacher map will be updated (refresh the map). Teacher needs to make the map and share it with the students and give everyone editing priveleges. I am going to use this with my adaptations unit and the students will be studying different parts of the galapagos islands (environment, species, invasive species, trees)
