Maps

Please see "Google Maps Introduction," __ [|http://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleMapsHelp?blend=7&ob=5#p/a/539002C4ADFEAF95/0/pq7UA_Y5bsI] __. And, this one is positively fun, "Google Maps: Getting Started," __ [|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o9OBeq5gnA] __

Just to be sure you've "got it," try "How to Search on Google Maps," __ [] __ This link is the most authoritative, __ [] __ - especially be sure to follow the Getting Started link.

And, for educational purposes, be sure to take a look at sites across the curriculum __ [] __.

Be sure to take the time for Google Treks at __ [] __. Take a look at this video (http://googletreks.org/movie.html) and tutorial (__ [] __ ).

Other resources you may find interesting include: On the iPad (iPod app, iTunes U), under __Teaching Matters__, "Mapping Across the Curriculum (Using Google Maps) is long (41 min.) and essentially a talk, but the purpose is to help understand Google Maps in teaching.

Some other, much shorter, resources are on the iPad (iPod, Podcasts), under "One Minute Tip." These are podcasts without any visual and actually run closer to 2-3 minutes. They probably are best used when you are at a computer so you can follow along what they are talking about on the computer.

And then, there are Google Map Tips, __ [] __. Google Maps Mania is a blog with some other interesting uses of Maps. Maps, when combined with other software, results in what are called "Mashups."

__**Performance Record**__ On the CPED 5300 discussion group, under the Maps topic, please a) comment on a couple of features you did not already know about Maps, and then b) comment on > - two of the curriculum leads you obtained from the last link on educational uses of Google Map or > - two interesting items you learned from the Google Treks site from the video and tutorial material there
