Google Maps for Teaching

Ver Colonial Zone en un mapa más grande

For my lesson of giving directions in my language class, I would make my students to create their own google maps. The idea is very simple but could be very useful for this purpose. Students would create a map of their community or a place they like and will highlight the place marks they find interesting. Then they will add line between the locations. These lines could be for walking routes as well as car routes. After they create their maps, they will make a presentation of it in class. They could use power point or prezi. In their presentation, they will use their maps to give directions. This will allow them to use the lesson vocabulary in a real environment.
