The White House?  Washington D.C?  The Presidents?

Click here to go on a Virtual Tour of the White House using Google Maps!   It's a very cool way to travel though the White House.   If you want to hear a funny story about me actually visiting the White House in 5th grade, just ask!   It starts of with, "I was separated from my family when I set off the metal detector..."   Let me know if you want to know more!

Check out the new Google Maps

Google has been working on updating their maps.  Check out the video above to see how they've improved their Maps product.   Google Maps would awesome for teaching kids about certain places, or if your students have their own Google accounts, they can create their own maps!   Of course, Google Maps is also awesome for finding your way somewhere.   Enjoy the updates!

What’s it like to visit Sesame Street all around the globe?

You can follow Global Grover and visit several of Sesame Workshop’s co-productions through the faces, voices and stories of children from those countries all within Google Earth.

I hope you've been having a great summer so far!   Right now, I'm in the middle of a Google Course to become "Google Map Certified".   As a part of my homework, I had to share a map of that I created.... please enjoy the map I made above!  I have so many ideas of how to use this in the classroom... another fun way to integrate tech in the upcoming school year!
