I am astounded by GoogleMaps and in a bit of a tizzy because I have been so long in getting in there and exploring it. In a nutshell, you can visit nearly any corner of the globe and view roadmap line, topographical feature, or satellite images. From the discussion threads I followed I learned that some teachers were having difficulty finding mathematic heuristics that would prove useful. More than few posters appeared stumped by that. No matter...the board had enough activity that a few math teachers and geographers suggested using the longitutde latitudinal coordinates to teach geography and mathematics concurrently.
With my own background in arts and literature I really appreciated how one person said they iused it in their class to view locations that were mentioned in some piece of fiction the class was reading. As for myself...what a thrill to be able to view Montemarte and it's surrounding sights. Montemarte, for those unacquainted with 20th century art is said by some to be the birthplace of a little experimental style of painting and collage developed by Juan Gris, Picasso, and Georges Braque. Perhaps you've heard of cubism.
