Interactive Google Maps - Step by Step Directions
Step by step directions for creating an Interactive Google Map! Includes an editable document that you can customize.
Did you know you can make your own map in Google Maps?
Interactive Google Maps are an engaging way to have students "show what they know" or keep track of information as they are learning about a topic. They can make them in groups - with each group member adding layers - or on their own.
Studying the Gold Rush? The Colonies? Interactive Google Maps are a great way to integrate an academic subject, geography and technology.
Working on Biographies? Have your students create an Interactive Google Map to tell the story.
Studying a literature book? Track your character along the way.
** Teacher Tip **
I posted these directions on Google Classroom for my students AND passed out printed directions. They followed along as I demonstrated the first time. I had a student read a direction, and then I showed them how to do that step. They asked questions as I demonstrated. Afterward, they used their paper directions to work on their own map/maps. I always let my students work together and help each other as we learned something new, and I circulated to help. I learned that paper directions are important, since they are creating the map on their computer. For some, it was easy to use a split screen or tab back and forth to digital directions, but for most, it was easiest and faster to have the directions in front of them.
