Google maps could be a great resource when studying. Often, I will have my students go on Google Earth to look up locations. My reading curriculum is mostly

nonfiction. They read about places and events all over the world. It would be a great tool for them to create their own map to learn more about geography and how

small the world really is. It would allow them to take on various perspectives and broaden their global awareness by relating to diverse populations. They could

experience "life" in a new place and learn about the geographic features which could help them make a choice about what they might do in a similar situation.
