Useful Maps

Technology can also be used in the classroom to create maps for activities. This particular map I created is of the boundaries and useful places to look for items for a scavenger hunt. This was highly useful because it let the students know where they should and shouldn't be, and gave them an idea ahead of time the places they could get the most items they needed. While this activity was more for fun than for learning, that does not mean that maps are not useful in learning. You can create maps for math class and mapping distances, or for science and population data. They can be used for a multitude of assignments. The one I created was formed using communitywalk.com. Many students are visual learners, so adding things like this to assignments is highly beneficial to their learning.
