• Description:
  something simThe learner will locate her home using Google Maps (or other aerial/satellite imaging) and identify two landmarks nearby. This is a simple and fun activity I created when Google Maps first came out a couple of years ago. Since then there have been many enhancements to Google Maps that will make this activity even easier and more stimulating. .
