Week 8 Google Map Lesson Plan

GOOGLE MAPS ASSIGNMENT I would be able to use Google Maps in about all of my classes as an assignment but the class that came to mind first was my Entrepreneurship class. Bell Work: When students walk in the classroom, their bell work would be to sit down, open their laptops, and research an entrepreneur they would like to know more about. (5-7 Minutes) I already have them do a Prezi about a famous entrepreneur and present it to the class. This would easily be an added bonus to the presentation. They could have a link to their Google Map in their Prezi. After bell work time is complete we would go around the room and mention who each student would like to research so we don’t have any duplicates. After each student knows who they will be researching, I would show the video and informative links to Google Maps I had to do for this assignment (I have them saved in my Delicious account). Once we go over how to create a map, I would ask for any clarification and then give them the guidelines and expectations for their maps. I would also show them an example that I have created in order for them to see what is expected of them. Guidelines would include the following: • Where the entrepreneur was born and when • Any cities they lived in • Schools they attended • Where they are now or where they died • What they are known for • Any other points of interest they might find during their research o Favorite spots of that person I would give them about 2 days during class to work on this (2 hours total) and anything else would be homework outside the classroom. They would all then present their Prezi to the class with the Google Maps integrated as a link.
