Marks on the Map

Our Google Maps Inquiry group is looking to make great use of this internet tool. We spent some time searching through current examples of maps, curious to see what's out there. While there are a few good examples, this is a largely untapped publishing opportunity for students and teachers to explore and share learning!

Today we looked at a few examples and then checked out a few resources we've gathered on Diigo. We are sharing our links here: http://groups.diigo.com/group/google-map-inquiry


We gave the technology a try by uploading information about ourselves to a group map. You can see our personal placemarks in the photo above. We will use this map to experiment... and hopefully make a mess of it, learning from these attempts.

Look for us to share some great projects; ideas are already flowing!
