Google Maps

Using google maps is now a special tool that can help you in your SL classes.  Here a few tips and ideas:

  1. The entire google interface can be set up in available different languages. This means that the screen will give you instructions and tips in the SL available.  This is a great practice opportunity for real life use for your students.
  2. The google maps search is now able to give you a great 360 degrees picture of the place you are looking for. Imagine what that can do for your classes! Check the page at this link to see just a few ideas on how to make this work: Activity ideas on google maps
  3. Remember: this feature works for you only if the "orange" guy is active.
