Of all the products that Google offers, Google Maps is one of Google’s hottest products. It allows the user to see streets, physical features, states, capitals, countries, and many other things. Google Maps is a wonderful tool for ALL teachers to use. One of the biggest areas that our students face on standardized teachers is the ability to read maps and graphs. It seems that students continually struggle in this area. Using Google Maps will not only approach that problem, but will allow them to become familiar with the world in which they live. Google Maps is also available on all smart phones so users can take it with them wherever they want. Google Maps also allows the user to see incoming traffic, map directions, and a first person perspective view of particular areas.
