23 Things #17

I picked Maps from the web 2.0 list. I visited google maps, live maps, and google earth. I found all of them very easy to use. I liked how you could see the maps in all different ways, from states and cities to the terrain. These are very useful to use in the classroom. I especially like google earth and have used it with a smart board. It is great for Social Studies. What ever you are talking about, from the first settlers and how they came here, Native American tribes, studying Latin American countries, you can touch the smart board and drag directly to the area you are discussing. It is a great tool.
For fun I looked at the food sit on the Web 2.0 and I found some great recipes.
