Jenna's Digital Story

Hey guys! I can't get my digital story on to YouTube, so here it is! Enjoy it.

Google Maps

So that is the URL for the Map, I just simply did WMU to Darwin Middle School in The Gardens NT, Australia. I still need to add the summary about how it will be used but let me know what you think about the map.

Summary For Google Map: 

The Google Map that we had chosen shows the distance between Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan and Darwin Middle School in The Garden NT, Australia. The Google Map can be used in the Virtual Penpals activity in many ways. I believe that it would be most beneficial to use it at the start of Virtual Penpals. I believe this is the best way to incorporate the map because it will clearly show our students how far Australia is in correspondence to Michigan. It will also be a good introduction to the Penpals as well. The map can also be used at the end of the lesson as well after the students gather the information throughout the 4 week period. The map can be used to show how different weather can be in two places that are very far away from each other. I think the map can be used in both ways and be a great source for our students to see how far two places can be from each other and have either the same or different weather.
