Our school district has stopped buying map for the classroom because of the fact they become outdated so quickly. I use Google Map all of the time when teaching and reviewing map skills.

I love these lesson plan ideas – I want to try them next week with my new class. I think getting kids to link technology which is in their blood (google earth) to old fashioned maps is a fantastic way to get them hooked. Thanks for sharing! And I hope you post after you teach that third lesson.

This is good stuff–thanks for talking about maps. They do not get enough attention. In addition to what you’ve provided, you have to see http://www.stratalogica.com. I just got a brochure in the mail on this. It’s ggogle earth workig with Nystrom maps and globes…a real innovation.
