Here it is!!! A Google Map and Google Earth certificates.  Both are incredible and provide so many options to explore and lean about geography, history and people on our planet.  I do, however, feel much more comfortable with Google Maps.  I can see students in early elementary grades using maps in a meaningful and purposeful manners.  Google Earth is fun, it is amazing but it is far more sophisticated and I need time trying it out in the classroom.  For now, I'm the lucky holder of two certificates and I can't wait to use Maps in the classroom.  Coming up - a curriculum idea that integrates social studies, math, language and ICT.  Stay tuned!
