Ip&T

Prompt: tell about why one of the things we talked about in class would be cool to use in your classroom

K one thing we talked about was googlemaps. Googlemaps is a super cool feature. You have access to any map and you can click to zoom in and stuff. They also have this satalite thing that lets you see the streets and stuff. This would be incredible in the classroom. especially for teaching history, like I will do. Maps are used in History for every unit. Dosn't matter what you're studying it happened somewhere. There is a locationand seeing where it is brings it to life, and makes it more real. Plus I think that people should know that things are different in other parts of the country or of the world. You should realize a world outside of yours exists,and maps are a great tool is helping studetns to realize that. Plus I think reading a map is good skill people should have. Googlemaps can help you out with that!
