Google+Maps

We've all used Google Maps for directions, but you can use it as a Web 2.0 tool by creating your own customized map and putting in information you want to share with students. If you're studying a country, instead of having each kid do a report on paper about an area of the country, create a map. Give the kids access to it. They put blue push pins on their areas and do their report in the text box associated with their pin. Their report can include text, live web links, pictures, etc. Everyone can be working on it at the same time and at then end, there's a map fully loaded with information created by the kids.
