Using Google Maps

Hi I have just started experimenting with Google Maps as suggested by J. Herring in Improving students' web use and information literacy (p.22). I could show  Stage 1 how to use it for their walking tour unit and Stage 2 for the literacy research unit.
Here is the link for the map. This will give an extra dimension to the unit of work the children will be doing. In Stage 1 we can use their photos in the map we create.

Donkey Library

What can I say? This man is a hero. I look at him and feel so thankful for all the advantages we take for granted every day. Barbara Braxton shared this on OzTL net. She also suggested that it be watched after reading My Library is a Camel.
