Maps

Last week I explored Google Earth quite a bit and I recently went to a meeting which shared with me even more information about map resources. The one that was the most intriguing was Maps 101. This is a great resource that creates all kinds of maps, those from today and also from the past. It does require a registration though which is a downside to the program. I also learned much more about the OmniGlobe that the district has. We are the only district in the country to have an OmniGlobe, and it is an awesome tool! It can be used to show various types of maps but it can also be used in our third grade solar system unit. It has some great images of planets and world views. I am eager to see what lessons can be created using these tools.
