My Maps Lesson Plan

I am working with Google Maps to create a lesson plan for my students.  This is a video of how to use My Maps in google.  This would be a good introduction video for any lesson that requires students to use My Maps.

Here is an example of a map I created with information about Christmas celebrations around the world.  I think this would be a great way to keep students engaged during the "Christmas Break Squiggles".  Students could work collaboratively on this in small groups.  They would be required to label and describe a winter holiday in a country from each continent, include at least one video, three photos, and one recipe or activity.
