This is a great you tube video on how to get started with creating a map in Google Maps.

  Acitivity - Local shopping trip with three stops.
  Acitivity - Dream vacation.

How to use in education? battles, missions. wars, travels, political races, Flat Stanley projects, living museum activities, ancestors, review information, virtual field trips, "where are we activity,"etc.

Google maps are saved as kmz. files. To find some created, do an advanced search in Google and select the kmz. file type.


Google Earth is very similar to Google Maps with a few exceptions.
