Maps can be used to tell stories and students can tell stories with maps. In this session, Nikki D Robertson will explore how you can use Google MyMaps to teach nonfiction and fiction stories, as well as to develop research skills in a collaborative environment.

How fun! I am going to try to make a map that shows our trip to visit our daughter!
Discover: let the students tell you what they found out and share with class.
Add layers for particular things or order that you want them to look.
