Google Map

As a language teacher, I was having difficulties finding good uses for Google Map.  Here's what I have so far:

1.  Higher level students (4th year and AP):  having them do research about a Chinese city and crand create a traveling brochure or travel plan.  They can use Google Map to indicate the location and suggest modes of transportation after finding out the distance.

2.  For Chinese 2 and 3 students:  if and when we take a fieldtrip to Chinatown, it would be interesting to have them map out the different parts of Chinatown that they need to visit and plan their own route.

  1. This is a very interesting idea. This will cause the students to "own" the fieldtrip moreso than if you were to just go.
