Map Mashup of Querétaro, México

View Larger Map

This map will be used for students in a High School Spanish classroom and will be suitable for Spanish I - V students.

There are many ways that maps and mashups can be used in the classroom. Students will be able to use these mashups to create projects like this in a Spanish classroom that highlight cultural areas of a country or popular city that we are studying. Also, students can create a city walk of the city they are from, highlighting their favorite things about the city. This creates community pride. (You can also have the students do this with their high school, although it will be a little harder on the map). Of course, it will all be in the Spanish language. Another great way to use this technology would be to have the students re-create their favorite vacation when doing a vacation unit. It will bring personalization to the unit for students.
