Google Maps

Unlike Google Earth, Google Maps does not need software to be installed to use it. This digital technology is readily avaliable and can be accessed by computer, iPod, iPad or iPhone. I found this difficult to navigate at first, however, the video tutorial on Moodle found it easy to use. Google Maps can be used in the classroom to promote multiculturalism. It can also be used across the curriculum and by all year levels. The following is a PMI analysing Google Maps.
