During this week I used a service called Google My Maps which is a service launched by Google in April 2007 that enables users to create custom maps for personal use or sharing. Users can customize each map by adding points, lines, and shapes on top of the maps. I personally believe this service is a great tool and can be used during many geography and historical classes or events. This service also creates an opportunity to make assignments for students that involve this service. An example would of an assignment would be: Students being taught about Washington D.C and the historical sites but live in California. The students could use Google My Maps to view each site as if they were there in person and also they can create a detailed map of all the sites. In conclusion this site is one of the better sites for mapping and is always on top of the recommendation list!
This is a tutorial on how to use Google My Maps:
